Hello, I am new to MediaWiki and so am introducing a bit more WikiWay to it. I enjoy this space! :-)

I began my wiki fascination in January 2002, thanks to Kirk Kitchen and his YpsilantiEyeball wiki for the chance to learn about wiki. I also was mostly with the MeatballWiki community, which I still consider one of my main wiki homes. I also am part of the CommunityWiki crew.

Recently I attended WikiSym where I met Raymond King and John Stanton. We all grooved on the idea I began several years ago SwitchWiki. The original description is at the now defunct YpsilantiEyeball and at MeatBall:OneBigWiki, and the first iteration of it, a flat 26 alphabetical list, resides at WorldWideWiki:SwitchWiki.

I am extremly excited about this project for I see it as a stepping stone to continued SelfOrganization of information.

The idea of a wiki of wikis is recursive to me. Thus I am thinking and working on RecursiveNatureOfWiki as examples of the ideas I am trying to groke. Another fascination of mine are community interactions on wiki. There were a group of us at WikiSym who were interested in this, WikiPractices is what we called it, and the page resides at MeatballWiki.

Even though I have used wiki for over 4 years, there is much I need to learn and hope to always have the capacity to learn.

Enjoy! :-)
