== Lost in Wiki == i am the [[sysop]] of my own Wiki (strange to think of it this way). it does not have user accounts or authentication, it is so small and irrelevant that it can just stay open to the world. it is of no interest to anybody but people working with our Free mapping Software. All of us are [[trolls]]. The first thing that i had to learn in wikiworld was that you do need an account to edit. i inadvertently created a wiki account on the mozilla clone of Wikimedia without noticing - until i did notice that the stuff i edited there would not automatically propagate elsewhere - from one Wiki to the next (which is natural to my domain of geo data clusters and replicating databases). So i tried to move everything to one place which i thought to be the most central. i am German (sorry about that but seems like i can't help it), but our map-thing shouldn't be restricted to one language, so the DE wiki wont work. The EN wiki is the largest one but it is "only" a Wikipedia and maybe some of those other wikis would also want maps?! i identified meta.wikimedia.org to be a good place for [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tschirl Tschirl]. Now i wonder whether i should wander some more. Shortly before, after or while my st(h)umble edits, traffic started on the [http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l foundation-l mailing list] proposing Wikimaps as a new Wiki domain. i stopped with what i was doing - frustrated to be late (see The Utmost Fear). i continued to read posts and just waited for those other individuals to recognize my natural superiority and do what i was proposing. :<nowiki>:-)</nowiki> :Nothing like that happened - what a sad story. :<nowiki>)-:</nowiki> But i did learn that one of those individuals invented the original Mediawiki software (and knows SVG) another is CFO of the Wikimedia Foundation (and knows GIS). Means that there already are at least two big shots who probably won't subdue to my whims anyway. Most all of those people are really deeply involved. So i started to hope that nobody would notice my boldly proposed architecture...
