An Award for Ward
Our very own Ward Cunningham got a prestigious honor for his technology contributions today (which include creating the first wiki). Ward received the Mayor's Technology Award for "exceptional innovation and vision in technology" from Portland, OR Mayor Potter. The award, given annually, was presented at the InnoTech Conference, a business and technology innovation conference held this week in Portland.

- After our Stakeholder Meeting today, I stayed up on IRC and talked with the majority of WikiCoaches and a few community members about the way we envision the organization of the "WikiCoaching" work for our Paid Article service. and how that dovetails into some of our other "paid" offerings like portal creation. As a result:
- I created a WikiCoachingLog as a landing page for interaction and discussion between the coaches and community, thinking that could be useful.
- I added a transcript of the IRC discussion WikiCoaching 15-April-2008 if anyone is interested. It's a rather thick read, but might be illuminating to people to see how we trying to organize this work internally. -- TakKendrick | talk

- Check out the new front page Wiki. ~~ MarkDilley
- How about a story twist to organizational pages? Check out my revamp of StJude.org's page at StJude.org/Idea. I believe this can add a unique texture and feel to the page for when someone reads it, in an attempt to try and relate to the visitor. Nick Burrus [ Talk - Contribs ]
- I made StJude.org/Idea the final StJude.org page sense it wasn't opposed. [ Talk - Contribs ]

- Green technology enthusiast, Jean Pierre de Lutz, and I collaboratively worked on the AboutUs sponsored page GreenBoatBateauVert.com, to create an informative article about the ongoing Greening of his boat Sean Seamour III - an experience he wishes to share with mariners from around the world who seek to make the sea a greener place. But Jean also wishes to bring the French community closer and wants them to actively participate in this effort. So, he went ahead and translated the entire article we had created into French: BateauVert ! Kudos to Jean for his initiative, great work on the articles, and bringing out the true potential of Coach-Client collaboration. Obed Suhail

WikiBirthday cake!
Last week (25 March) was the 13th anniversary of the creation of the first Wiki by AboutUs' own Ward Cunningham. To commemorate this "WikiBirthday" the Portland WikiWednesday group had a cake at their meeting on 3 April. Members were asked to "edit" the blank cake by adding their names in frosting.
