About me
I have been a practicing (volunteer) Wikipedian for many years; my home wiki is the Hebrew Wikipedia, but I make occasional contributions on the English Wikipedia as well. I have a strong background in software engineering, and an abiding interest in literature, education, open access, linked data, and library science.
As an unpaid volunteer, I am a founding editor of Project Ben-Yehuda and a teacher of classical Greek and Latin. I used to serve on the board of Wikimedia Israel.
My work
I am working on increasing reach (readers) and participation (editors) in the developing world, through community support as well as partnerships with other NGOs and governments.
I am also in charge of the Wikimedia Project and Event Grants program, and am the staff liaison to the Affiliations Committee (AffCom).
I'm a good first contact at the WMF if you're looking to start a Wikimedia group somewhere, or if you might need funding for your activity.
