User:Waykup

I am a jack-of-all-trades, but my profession is in the field of training and adult education. I am currently a social software trainer and consultant, focusing on the integration and application of enterprise 2.0 technologies to improve collaboration and communication within organizations.

I hold an MA in industrial/organizational psychology from George Mason University. My recent fascination with web 2.0 has been both in the development of alter-ego virtual identities (and the cultures that develop around them) as well as the application of social technologies to learning solutions.

I maintain a blog at evercurious.com where I chronicle my rants and raves about technology.

Wiki Interests

As an enterprise user of MediaWiki, I'm interested in improving its usability, partly through the implementation of a graphical editor. I've found the following resources and plan to get involved initially by ensuring proper linking between them:

• Usability study
  • Main page
  • Wikia blog: Announcing the usability study
  • Wikia blog: Usability results
  • Press release
  • Info about the Stanton Grant

• Graphical editor - finally!!!!!!
  • Sandbox page for the new rich editor
  • Problems with the new editor (on the forum)
  • Help page for the new editor
  • Source code for Wikia and the WYSIWYG editor
