Coming Thursday: the summer ArborWiki work party

All interested editors of ArborWiki are invited to the Summer Work Party this coming Thursday, the 26th, at 9pm. We’re meeting at the Ann Arbor outlet of Primo Coffee for a couple of hours to hack away at MediaWiki.

There are a couple specific code parts that I hope to attack, namely:

  • The upcoming server change and partnership that — after about a year — is finally ready to happen.
  • Forcing search to actually search everything. It doesn’t do talk pages, I don’t think, and certainly not categories.
  • Providing a new syntax for mapping
  • I will also bring along some of my extra schmaltz for community use.

We will also be discussing how AW can neatly be extended to neighboring communities, especially Ypsilanti.

Who I’m not

According to Google (today, 12 June 06), matth.org is:

…used to document research, experiments and outcomes of my MA Thesis in Interface Design.

Which is emphatically not true — that’s Moritz Stefaner’s Well-formed data. Silly Google.
I am a Sophomore in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. I’m interested in community systems; I help non-profits and schools get of the ground and running with new web systems; and I’m currently studying German at the Goethe Institut in Germany.

Now: Daily del.icio.us

My delicious links should be auto-posted here daily; hopefully this isn’t an annoyance. If so, please email me: matthew.hampel@gmail.com.

The content is still sitting — there is some hangup converting it to WordPress that cannot be resolved quickly. I dislike these “I’m incompetent, pleez wait” message, but: in the meantime, check out my Flickr stream, now being updated from Munich.
