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.

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
