Revision as of 08:06, 20 February 2012
As you might have guessed, I am interested in Austrian Economics and economic history. I am also interested in other things and have read quite a few books on many a topic (long live generality!). I work hard, when I'm not goofing off and I like animals. Most of them.
Random notes:
- I am the creator of the Austrian Economics Wiki (now closed), which became the foundation of the Mises Wiki.
- If you are looking for obscure topics on economics and history, particularly of the Austrian bent, try the "Economic Resources and Books". It is a customized search engine and it may give you better results than a general search.
- The user Pesterbot is a bot used for mass changes.
- If anybody needs to enter large numbers of similar references, consider using this Greasemonkey script. Use this script for daily articles and blog entries from Mises.org.
- Preferably working on: MisesWiki:WikiProject Economic History, Calls to Action, other stuff or this stuff - anything in fact. Currently on extended leave.
Have fun contributing to the wiki,
Peter

History
- April 23, 2009 - first edit on Austrian Economics Wiki
- August 1, 2010 - over 100 articles on AEW ( + 1 year 3 months)
- October 6, 2010 - over 300 articles after all countries were added (+ 2 months)
- November 5, 2010 - migration to Mises Wiki (+ 1 month)
- March 3, 2011 - 600 articles reached (+ 4 months)
- January 30, 2012 - 1000 articles reached (+ 11 months)
So in a third of time a highly active community produced about three times as much content, if only article count is concerned. There's more to it than simple count, but...
...not bad at all. :)
Then, it took almost a year to get to one thousand. Things have predictably slowed down. Let's hope there shall be more!
