<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>#2. This is a BETA:</b> Wikifab is still a work in progress. Things can sometimes break, the data is not always accurate and you'll probably bump into some unexpected things that we haven’t thought of yet. Bear with us, we're getting
there and really appreciate your support.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>#3. Small but growing: </b>The number of tutorials on Wikifab is limited. So you might not find the project you’re looking for... yet. We encourage you to add tutorials to Wikifab, and we’re doing our part by adding new tutorials on
a monthly basis.<o:p></o:p></p>
