"Sites like Aboutus.org also tend to rank very highly around brand terms because of the authority of the domain and the on-page optimisation / relevance each page has."

  • Late notice, I know, but Silicon Forest has been the Wikipedia/WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week for a while. (The word "week" is treated very loosely in this context!) I suggested this collaboration a while back, because I thought a good article on the Silicon Forest would be a nice complement to the Portland Tech portal. So, I encourage AboutUs'er's to get on over and get to work! -Pete 20:20, 29 April 2008 (PDT)

Thought for the day:

edit An Award for Ward

Our very own Ward Cunningham got a prestigious honor for his technology contributions today (which include creating the first wiki). Ward received the Mayor's Technology Award for "exceptional innovation and vision in technology" from Portland, OR Mayor Potter. The award, given annually, was presented at the InnoTech Conference, a business and technology innovation conference held this week in Portland.

  • After our Stakeholder Meeting today, I stayed up on IRC and talked with the majority of WikiCoaches and a few community members about the way we envision the organization of the "WikiCoaching" work for our Paid Article service. and how that dovetails into some of our other "paid" offerings like portal creation. As a result:
    • I created a WikiCoachingLog as a landing page for interaction and discussion between the coaches and community, thinking that could be useful.
    • I added a transcript of the IRC discussion WikiCoaching 15-April-2008 if anyone is interested. It's a rather thick read, but might be illuminating to people to see how we trying to organize this work internally. -- TakKendrick | talk Comment_green.gif 01:12, 16 April 2008 (PDT)
  • Check out the new front page Wiki. ~~ MarkDilley
  • How about a story twist to organizational pages? Check out my revamp of StJude.org's page at StJude.org/Idea. I believe this can add a unique texture and feel to the page for when someone reads it, in an attempt to try and relate to the visitor. Nick Burrus [ Talk - Contribs ]

  • Green technology enthusiast, Jean Pierre de Lutz, and I collaboratively worked on the AboutUs sponsored page GreenBoatBateauVert.com, to create an informative article about the ongoing Greening of his boat Sean Seamour III - an experience he wishes to share with mariners from around the world who seek to make the sea a greener place. But Jean also wishes to bring the French community closer and wants them to actively participate in this effort. So, he went ahead and translated the entire article we had created into French: BateauVert ! Kudos to Jean for his initiative, great work on the articles, and bringing out the true potential of Coach-Client collaboration. Obed Suhail

edit WikiBirthday cake!

Last week (25 March) was the 13th anniversary of the creation of the first Wiki by AboutUs' own Ward Cunningham. To commemorate this "WikiBirthday" the Portland WikiWednesday group had a cake at their meeting on 3 April. Members were asked to "edit" the blank cake by adding their names in frosting.

We are not ususally as laid back but here resting in Mindelo after a gruelsome passage from Sardinia to Cape Verde. On my shoulder our Sardinian stowaway. The day before leaving for our Atlantic crossing a local Sarde aware of our imminent departure comes alongside asking me if we are willing to make this young Yorkshire Terrier a little american - Mayke is down below but I already knew her answer. "Bentley" would take to sea and I back to the supermarket for a month of canned dogfood

edit The GreenBoat Adventure

It all started after the loss of our Sean Seamour II between Cape Hatteras and Bermuda last May 7th. I was in quandary to define what Sean Seamour III should be (see Final Log , en Français Le Récit). My wife Mayke had long insisted that we should have a silent boat (no diesel engine to smell or hear) and a catamaran for it offers a stable platform. I had long insisted that we would never have a boat that could not right itself from a 180°. After the events of May 7th, moving to a Catamaran is no longer a debate, on the other hand, silent clean propulsion remains both her desire and my curiosity.

Living on the Mediterranean where wind is either overly abundant or non existent (sailing to Corsica is often motoring there), we opted for a Nauticat 33 motorsailor. A stable platform with a deep keel, decent sailing performance with its extended ketch rig, foremost, a great platform to experiment its transformation into a diesel-electric hybrid as a first step before, we hope a fuel cell electric drive as these energy generation technologies mature. Through this blog we would like to share our ideas, trials and tribulations, as well as create an interactive repository of knowledge and references on the state of the art and where it may be going. Please don’t hesitate to share and contribute, we are all breaking ground.

In the months ahead we will be looking at all the facets of going green. This means breaking down the technology blocks constitutive of a green system, looking at who and what is present and or emerging. We will study the performance and suitability for our project. We are also keeping a sharp eye on new technologies in related areas in an effort to see when and if technology migration, or perhaps we should use the term crossover, may come to benefit green boat adventures where ever they may be.

In our quest to transform and constantly evolve Sean Seamour III as a demonstrator we hope players from all horizons will come and join our adventures, manufacturers and inventors with innovative ideas, system integrator, yards and craftsmen - in essence mariners like us seeking to make the sea a greener place to be. contact : <>
