Problem

Is now really the time to start your hackerspace? Shouldn’t you wait? Have you really thought of all the problems?

Implementation

Sure it is the time! It’s always easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission. (Grace Hopper, US Navy Rear Admiral and computer scientist) It’s important to start. Many problems you think of before will vanish as soon as you get started. When in doubt, do it!
