About Help!
The Help! section is designed to allow users to post content on the PAPS website. There are two main types of content: 1) useful information (eg. academic, logistic, etc.) and 2) ads (meeting new people, renting a place, etc.).
All of Help! content is mainly target towards PAPS members, but information is visible to everyone.
