My name is Zach Dennison, and I joined Wikipedia on May 12, 2005. I am always using Wikipedia as a resource, yet I am fairly inactive when it comes to editing and creating articles. My biggest interest is in computers. I can write batch, HTML, and PHP files, and I can write in wiki markup. Most of my article contributions are to correct typos or add a small amount of content to an article.

Wikimedia-wide issues
Wikipedia and its sister projects are organized at the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). Wikimedia-wide issues can be discussed either on Wikipedia Meta or on the Wikimedia-l mailing list. If you ever want to bring an issue to the attention of the entire Wikimedia community, the foundation list is the best medium for doing so. But please use project-specificmailing lists for issues which concern just one project. You do not have to subscribe to keep up with the mailing list's postings—they are archived here.
Another source for what is happening is Goings on, which provides a weekly digest. On Wikipedia, to keep up with current events, visit the Wikipedia:Community portal.
