-The site is a collection of wiki pages with many different indexing schemes. You can find pages by any one of these indexes however in some cases information about a given chip is unknown or unavailable so it won't be in an index. Here are the current indexes and a brief description of what they're good for.

-  * [[collection|Collection]]: Look at what each of our members has in his/her personal collection. Useful for finding a chip you sent someone for analysis or checking out who's interested in a given type of device.
+When adding new pages, please tag as accurately as you can and cite data when possible (for example, tagging a device as a certain vendor based on seeing a logo is fine, but don't guess). We'd rather have a device marked as unknown than tagged incorrectly and confuse people.
+  * [[collection|Collection]]: Look at what each of our members has in his/her personal collection. Useful for finding a chip you sent someone for analysis or checking out who's interested in a given type of device. These pages sometimes contain background information on users and their interests/lab capabilities as well.
   * [[foundry:start|Foundry]]: Devices sorted by the foundry (the manufacturing plant). Note that this is often not the same company that designed the device. Useful for comparing the capabilities of different fabs and trying to figure out which fab may have made an unknown device.
   * [[tech:start|Process technology]]: Devices sorted by technology node. Useful for trying to figure out the age or technology level of an unknown device.
