Wait, there's a wiki? Absolutely!

If you have experience with any of the items sold at Vikings that you'd
like to share with others, for example how you flashed your X230 with
coreboot or improvements on existing articles, we'd be grateful if
you'd share that experience there so it can be useful to others.
