Who I Am

Brief History:

• 7 years in academia - teaching a variety of CS courses
• 7 years in software industry - consulting, managing virtual teams, and developing products
• PhD in CS, etc

What I Think I Can Contribute

My TWiki activities include:

• deployed TWiki at http://www.pui-eship.org/
• TWiki consulting - training, installation & configuration, etc.
• BibliographyPlugin (refactored & enhanced original code)
• CommonHeaderFooterPlugin
• 3-pane quick reference sheet (currently at DoubleSidedPdfPromptSheet), which spawned TWikibug:Item3694.
• OrderSearchResultsMostRelevantFirst (see FormattedSearchPatternAndCountContext)

I use other wikis and projects that include wikis (particularly MoinMoin, Moodle, and Trac) and I work with students and colleagues in a variety of disciplines. I'm interested in using wikis in education, particularly to support writing and team projects, and I've given several workshops on using wikis. This perspective might be helpful.

I don't expect to contribute frequently or widely, and would be perfectly happy to let someone else commit work I've done.

Discussion

Clif, with all the activity we have in the Codev web, your request seems to have fallen through the cracks. Sorry about that!

You did not specify if you would like to get check-in rights for twikiplugins (plugins and other extensions) or the core. From your activity it looks like for plugins. I welcome this, it is good to have a broad PluginsCommunity!

For core contributions (such as quick reference sheet) I suggest to create patches.

Clif is getting more active, also with core code (FormattedSearchPatternAndCountContext), thank you very much! I suggest Clif gets svn access to the core code.

I've added Clif to the commiters list - should be fun to see where this code goes

Clif, welcome to the core dev team!

-- PeterThoeny - 27 May 2008

Yes I also welcome you. I hade missed this would-like-to-check-in topic because it arrived while I was travelling but I surely also support and welcome Clif.
