: Hello, I am a [[WikiWiki|wiki]] enthusiast! I started what is now [[WikiIndex]] - much thanks to [[John]], [[Ray]], [[Ted]] and many others for taking it to the level it is at now.
−
−
: My interest in [[WikiWiki|wikis]] started in January of 2002 when I found [[PortlandPatternRepository]] and [[MeatballWiki]].
−
−
: A little later [[CommunityWiki]] came about. I feel very connected to all of those [[WikiWiki|wiki]], although spend too little time there.
−
−
: I joined [[Helmut Leitner]] in his rediscovery of the [[TourBusStop]] system, an idea John Debruins had the year earlier (he came up with the idea for a [[Sandbox]] for inexperienced people to play with [[WikiWiki|wiki]] in.)
−
−
: Being the '''Eclectic Tour Bus'' driver was fun and I enjoyed talking with [[LionKimbro]] about [[WikiNodes]] and [[LocalNames]].
−
−
: [[RecentChangesCamp.org]] ideas came from the group of us on [[WikiVanning]] and folks at [[WikiSym]], especially [[eekim.com|Eugene Kim]] (Since his site is a wiki, would be cool for us to redirect to his site; [[Brandon]] did a great job organizing the first one.
−
−
: When I first talked with [[RayKing|Ray]] about the idea of [[AboutUs]] I didn't like it - but over the course of several months I became very excited about the potential of this effort and joined him in late August 2006.
−
−
: '''I look forward to learning [[WikiWiki|wiki]] with you!'''
−
: '''and would love for you to help build this [[WikiWiki|wiki]]! ;-)'''
−
: see my [[MarkDilley.com|business card]] and / or [[Special:Contributions/MarkDilley|work on the]] [[AboutUs]] [[WikiWiki|wiki]].
