For those who haven't done so already, I'd also appreciate an introduction.
Greetings everyone. I'm George Herbert, known on many of the Wikipedia sites as User:Georgewilliamherbert .
I've been a UNIX user since I was in my early teens (Friend's dad's company had a VAX 11/750), Internet and Usenet user since 1987 (I was a witness to the Morris Worm), and Wikipedian for the past few years. I'm an administrator on en.wikipedia, member of the unblock-en-l mailing list, and active on several of the policy level lists (wikien-l, foundation-l).
I code things here and there, but I'm primarily an IT consultant in systems architecture and operations, ranging from site architecture for large websites and internal IT organizations to senior system administration work.
My interest in this list and topic is in general wanting to see how use of the tools has developed in ways that would make software architecture or implimentation or UI changes beneficial - Wikipedia works pretty well now, but I think that there is much more future evolution ahead in this type of online collaboration tool.
