[Cz-editcouncil] Introductions and wiki work

[Raymond Yee]

Hello everyone,

I am a lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Information, where I teach 
a course entitled "Mixing and Remixing Information" 
(http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/programs/courses/290-mri and 
http://blog.mixingandremixing.info).  I'm also in the middle of writing 
a book on web mashups (http://blog.mashupguide.net/about) to be 
published in the fall by Apress.     I've not had much time at all to 
contribute to the Citizendium yet but hope to have more time once I'm 
over the big push right now on my book.    My interests around 
Citizendium are as as much about the technological framework as the 
actual content of the system.  For instance, I hope to help shape 
technical standards and APIs at the Citizendium to allow for better 
reuse of its content.  (See the documentation for the API available at 
the Wikipedia -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php -- that allows 
external programs to access the Wikipedia and recombine and reuse content)

I'm inspired by hearing from all of you -- thanks, Larry, for getting us 
to introduce ourselves!

-Raymond
