manage a small wiki hosting company, myoo.de
English Wikipedia:
Over 15,000 edits to numerous articles, discussions and policies
Implemented the first four-element dynamic Main Page design (Featured article, Selected anniversaries, Did you know, In the news), and the division into content Main Page and Community Portal
Excerpt from my book, "Die heimliche Medienrevolution", which covers Wikipedia in detail. The first edition is available under a GFDL/CC-BY-SA dual-license.
At the FLOSS workshop in Pretoria, South Africa in 2005 (second from right). I have spoken at many conferences internationally about Wikimedia and its projects.
WiktionaryZ editing interface. I currently manage and lead the development of the project, which seeks to build a better database model and editing interface for a multilingual dictionary and thesaurus.
I visited the OhmyNews citizen journalism forum in Seoul, South Korea in 2005 and provided Wikinews coverage from the event.
Presenting semantic wiki technologies, including WiktionaryZ, at Wikimania 2006. To the right are Brion Vibber (Wikimedia CTO) and Denny Vrandevic (Semantic MediaWiki developer).
When I proposed Wikimedia Commons, I developed a detailed Commons:Project plan, including a redesigned upload form. In the end, the project was launched with no special functionality. One month later, I coded the feature to use images from Commons.
One of about 6,000 images uploaded by FlickrLickr, a collaborative process I developed to vet freely licensed images from Flickr for inclusion in Wikimedia Commons.
Wikipedia's logo until September 2003. In mid-2003, I organized the international logo contest, which resulted in the current logos for Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation, and MediaWiki.
The namespace manager is one of the most complex pieces of code I've worked on for MediaWiki. It is in the process of being merged into the standard distribution of the software.
One of 10,000 reproductions of paintings donated to us by Directmedia, a Berlin company (not all of them show chubby kids ;-). I coordinated the upload and metadata import.
Richard Stallman with Wikimania attendees. The Wikimedia community is at the core of the free culture movement. It is Wikimedia's greatest asset, and we must always make sure that it can be involved in everything we do.
