The word "method" has different meanings in different spheres, at Public Lab we use it to mean any technique, approach, or set of techniques to achieve something. You can see a selection of them at the Methods page, or post a new one using the instructions here:
What goes into a method page
Briefly, a method page could contain:
- A one-line introduction to the method or set of methods
- Context and background on the method
- Questions and a prompt to add your own
- Activities to guide people to how to begin using or contributing to the project
A much more complete description of methods can be found here.
