My name is C. Scott Ananian, and I began editing articles on Wikipedia in 2005.
C. Scott Ananian is an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation, working on the Parsoid project (and formerly, OCG). He also dabbles with LanguageConverter, Real-time collaboration in VE, and with OOjs.
Previously, Dr. Ananian was a jack-of-all-trades for the One Laptop per Child Foundation. He received his PhD in computer science from MIT, and before joining OLPC was a local activist and organizer for copyright issues. He organized Free Sklyarov Boston in July 2001, and in 2004 and 2005 was the lead programmer for the Election Incident Reporting System, which collected real-time data on elections across the US. He's a kernel hacker, advocate of voter verifiable elections, and part-time khipu researcher. Now he tries to build robust and reliable systems to allow kids to discover, share, and learn.
