It is with great pleasure that I welcome Erik Zachte as a part-time contractor to the Wikimedia Foundation. Erik will start work with us officially on September 1.
Erik has worked as a Technical Analyst for Air France - KLM for more than two decades. He is probably most famous in the Wikimedia community as the developer of "WikiStats" (stats.wikimedia.org), an amazing statistics package that reveals data about the growth and editing patterns in our various wiki projects.
Erik has created many other wonderful tools, featured at http://infodisiac.com/ . In his part-time role with the Wikimedia Foundation, he will continue to maintain and develop code to provide critical operational metrics about our projects. A key first project, for example, will be the integration of traffic statistics into the WikiStats package. These metrics will be key to communications, fundraising, internal evaluation, and for many other purposes.
We're working in parallel to provide Erik with the support he needs to do his work, including more regularly provisioned dumps and hardware to run his scripts.
I'm very pleased that Erik is joining our team, and look forward to working with him. Please join me in welcoming him. :)

Congrats Erik on your new contract and thanks so much in advance ;)

Other than perhaps Brion himself, this has to be one of the most obvious hiring decisions Wikimedia has ever made. Welcome Erik!

Fantastic news! Perhaps this is a good time to kickstart a set of pages on Meta to help facilitate other researchers in accessing and using data - both qualitative and quantitative? I'd also be very happy to set up a learning community on Wikiversity with this in mind... (cross-posted to wiki-research-l).

A great choice! Congratulations Erik!! And congratulations to the foundation!
