Okay, I did a pretty thorough scrub and reworking of the article. I added
the logo as well as moved it to the main space. As it stood the article
needed help but of course that's typical of new articles.
While the citations were okay I added more to them, and found a lot of
English articles as well as a few more Slovenian ones. There's probably a
lot more information out there but I need to stop and assist with the
ongoing editathon.
Please feel free to edit, adjust, rework.
:-)

Thanks for the responses. I think the overarching
thought I have is that
Wikipedia needs to learn as much from editors as editors need to learn from
Wikipedia. I'm glad other editors are responding and focusing on this.
I'm doing remote support of an editathon today so I will work on assisting
on cleanup with this article.

Another hopefully helpful idea:
Use another makerspace/coworkspace entry / entries as examples of
structure and content:
- I know about this local one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyebeam_(organization)
- which led to
