I'm an active Wikipedian and you can find more about me at my Wikipedia profile.

Wikimania
I would love to go to Wikimania, August 2006, but can't make it to Boston. I'll be in S.E. Asia (maybe Thailand or Indonesia, but I can adjust my plans), so if something's happening there, I'm keen to join in. Indonesia is my preferred option, as I speak the language and can also get involved with discussion on the Indonesian Wikipedia.

On Wikia
Main focus: Development and Sustainability Wikia

Also:
 * PermaWiki
 * Other green/social stuff - see the Development and Sustainability WikiNode
 * Renewable Energy Design Wikia
 * Personals Wikia
 * A wiki-based blog. Notes:
 * See Blog:Home & Blog:How do I add a new blog entry? for some ideas on how it can work).
 * Blogging isn't about personal blogs, so do we need a new Wikia to look at this topic? (Someone gave me a good answer on this, to the effect that each Wikia has its own guidelines and some may allow blogs. Can't find where that answer was, though... or did I dream it?)
 * Brettz9 & and Nyarlathotep are also interested in a wikiblog.
 * Interesting blog sites (from my perspective) to take note of are: Kuro5hin, Not Even Wrong & LiveJournal.
 * Wikiversity at Wikibooks. My main contribution, though, will be by developing articles at Wikipedia which can then be used as source material for Wikiversity.

And keeping a curious eye on:
 * Ideas
 * Wikocracy (what happens when everyone can write and revise the law?)
 * Wikitecture

I'm very interested in free networking sites that help to link people with common interests. See my Networking page.

Subpages

 * My blog - coming... eventually. For now it's at Bloggy thing and rather out of date.
 * Podcasts & online news sources
 * Search and research tools
 * Networking - accomodation sharing for travellers; work; volunteering; dating & social networking.
 * Software - my favorite open source software.

What I'm keeping track of...

 * Blog comment:Home
 * Personals - Community portal
 * Posting a thesis: Converting doc files to wiki?
 * Talk:Interwiki map
 * RenewableEnergy:Talk:Main Page
 * w:c:personals:How will this site work
