Welcome to my page! I am Samuel Klein, wikipedian, linguaphile and,hoom,inclusionist. I am currently working on platforms forcommunity-owned publishing of research and data. In the past I worked on anational digital library, at a "purpose of the Internet"research group, directed part of a globaleducation project, and served as atrustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. Currently summarizing some cross-wiki thoughts + conversations about project + community design asdesign chats.

Currently working on matchmaking people with ideas. My writing background consists of a few journals and newsletters, doggerel on the back of exams, broadsheets on telephone poles, philosophicalessays, and marked-up drafts of [others'] texts in red and blue. My academic background includes physics, mathematics, algorithms and language. In the Wikiverse: you can find me on theEnglish Wikipedia, and occasionally onWikibooks,Wiktionary (see alsomod-wiktionary), theOLPC wiki, and previously on some smaller language wikis (Nahuatl,Swahili) or taking collab notes onHypothesis XXX - synchrony across annotation systems for all sorts of knowledge (e.g., viahypothes.is and openannotation).

The Dao of Wiki *Quirks of int'l grantmaking

Resolved, that ...WMPH - why did these stop being shared on Meta? Cross-wiki links needed.

I am thinking of ways to

1. improve key sites:Wikimedia website,http://www.wikimedia.org redirection page
2. improve key meta pages:Goings-on(t),Meta:Babel(t,Interorg relations.)
3. movemeta-discussions tometa:, fromen: and other subprojects.
4. improve community:
   • bettermultilingualism /translation across WM,
   • nuanced interactions with new users, playfultrolls, nascentvandals, non-editor readers; articlevalidation
   • meshed ideas, empirics, and [pre]conceived notions relating tocommunity infrastruture, vision-building,interaction, insight and insanity,...
     • Oldessays:Various Wikipedian essays,Wikipedia commentary
     • Oldideas:Send this article to a friend, ...
5. unify discussion:power structures withinWM and acrossWP-instances (coveringVer ein/Wreader and es: split issues as well as the mundane)
6. help propose new projects:Wikifamily,Wikinews, Pa/Pr/Fu, Media,Prufing,Review...
7. design a fewfeature improvements
8. help people whoreuse wikimedia content recognize the projects the content came from
9. help others and future selvessee what I see
10. sharetest writing and wiki work
