Beginning from a single wiki at NASA in 2011, I now administrate multiple wikis and develop custom software to extend the power of MediaWiki for my users. I am an active contributor to the MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWIki communities. In this role with Enterprise MediaWiki, I am leading a community of practice which networks organizations ranging from major corporations to small non-profit organizations. Our goals include sharing best practices and collaboratively developing new tools and wiki extensions to better empower everyone using wikis to manage their corporate knowledge.
