I'm Konrad Roeder, a wireless engineer (bio) by trade and an author of technical books and newspaper articles (list) in my spare time. I live in North Bend, Washington. I've been a long-time user of the Wikipedia and also contribute to the Wikipedia. At first I was using it for my benefit. Now, I feel it's time to give back and contribute by being a second-wave Wikipedian. If there is something I cannot find in Wikipedia, I will write an article.
There's a lot of talk about the arrival of a "second wave" in e-learning. Early on, in the late 80's, getting on without the Internet to catch a ride on the first wave was a real challenge. There were bulletin boards with collections of information (mostly text) and phone numbers of other dial-up bulletin boards where to find more information (links). Pictures needed to be uuencoded so that they could be stored as text documents. Then in the early 90's Al Gore enable the public to use the Internet, hyperlinks and all ;)
I responded to this challenge by writing a series of forty newspaper articles called "All About the Internet".[1] Since then, there have been masses of changes in the networks to get you there - broadband, wireless, the computers have neary had a thousandfold increase in clock speeds and the software advances have been immense. In the late nineties, I discovered the Wiki as a convenient place for hackers to collaborate on projects. The building of a Wikipedia was only a dream for the ones on the first wave. Now that disk space is relatively cheap, the Wikipedia has become mainstream. First-wave Wikipedians helped bring it to you.
Seeing the Wikipedia on toolbars is a sign that the second wave is rolling in faster than you think. Users know exactly what they want. It needs to know everything, it needs to be exciting and most of all it needs to be free. Now it’s all about deploying against their needs and learning in the process. Join me in adding to the largest encyclopedia project in the world. It truly would be the envy of people that worked on the Library of Alexandria. kgrr talk
