Role in Wikipedia
In Wikipedia I focus mainly on computing articles, about software, programming languages, GNU/Linux Linux distributions and related topics. Mostly I add new content, although occasionally I fix mistakes, links, etc. if I find anything. Pages I have significantly contributed to include:


 * Seashore (software) - most of the article so far
 * Flash Linux - most of the article so far
 * Ubuntu-libre - most of the article so far
 * Darkzone - most of the article so far
 * Enlightenment Foundation Libraries - the long list of EFL components
 * Jedda - elaborated a bit on this article because I was doing an assignment on it at the time
 * Free Software Initiative of Japan - the whole article so far

It seems so far I am good at elaborating on some pages and creating stubs. I like creating stubs on things I do not know about because it is an opportunity to learn about something new.

My skills

 * Standards-compliant web design
 * Small-time programming in many languages
 * Art, photo editing, digital painting
 * Experience with many aspects of GNU/Linux
 * Rookie Darkzone player; I have been in a winning Zone team
