[edit] Introduction

Hi all!

My name is Shlomi Fish, and I'm an Israeli programmer, writer (of creative stories and aphorisms, articles, essays, lectures, blog entries or comments and web content), and also an amateur mathematician and an even more amateur artist. I'm also active in promoting and advocating various Open Source and Open Content technologies and resources in Israel and on the Internet.

My home-site is maintained by me, and contains many things I've written and placed online, as well as links to other sites or places I've created. A Google Search on my name also has many useful links (as are similar searches like that for "shlomif").

I've been contributing to the English wikipedia, to the Hebrew Wikipedia, to the English Wikiquote, to the English Wiktionary and to other public wikis around, and may contribute to other Wikimedia projects in the future.

[edit] English Wikipedia Articles I've worked on

Bourekas - started, believing it did not exist. Incorporated as Burek.
FreeCell - did not start, but heavily extended.
MikMod - fixed some problems. (much more left to do).

Tom Christiansen - also a stub.
Shlomi - converted to a disambiguation page.
Shlomi (Hebrew name) - a mini-article.

Baker's Game - a short article, which I'd like to spice a little by collecting statistics from a very large range of games (which will require some programming work).

I also did Janitorial work for many other articles (fixing phrasing errors, adding internal or external links, etc.)
