User:Axilpedia

My name is Axil, but Axilpedia is my handle on here. I've been developing software since being the Product Manager for Tell Me Why, the first consumer CD-ROM, in 1989. I shipped Kid Pix, The Print Shop, Williams Sonoma Guide to Good Cooking, and assisted with Myst, Living Books, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and many other popular software products in the 1990s. In 1999 I founded Greenhome.com, the first totally green online superstore. We sold to Jane Capital in 2011 and since I've been consulting and working on an app, working title Axilbot. I am interested in making a contribution to Wikipedia. I've noticed a few articles lately that need to be updated.

Definition Axilpedia #2: Axilpedia is a proposed teleologically based front end to Wikipedia. Currently, Wikipedia is organized 1) alphabetically, 2) thematically (along the lines of a traditional encyclopedia) and various other ways, including, possibly, who knows? I don't, the Dewey Decimal System. Axilpedia attempts to place each article in groupings based on how they help humanity solve its crisis of meaning, our loss of telos, some kind of beacon pulling us where we want to go. Axilpedia is a way to use Wikipedia to have ready to hand, more easily as a result of this organizational structure, the best known solutions to the biggest existing problems we face. If and when I get the design together, I'll post links here.
