Hi there!
Don't think I really need a wiki page ... lol ...
but well, maybe _you_ need to know a lttle more to know about me. ok. I am a RL behavioral scientist from Germany. Behavioral scientist are psychologists who are not therapists, but interested in what average, "normal" persons behaviour is. For average, normal persons usually™ think: psychologist == therapist it was necessary to make up a new word. My special scientific interests is in -surprise- virtual reality and human-computer interfaces. I wrote my "Diplom"-thesis (German equivalent of master of science) about psychology of personality, focusing on gender differences in autobiographic/episodic memory.
My computer and programming background goes back to the 80s, first program written on an Apple ][; later C64 Basic V2 and 6510 Assembler; then several Basic dialects and MC68000 Assembler on Atari ST; then Turbo Pascal and (a little) C on a 8088 machine. Since 90s until 2008 not much(a little bash here, some LaTeX there and R for the masters thesis); but SL re-addicted me to programming. So contributing now VWR-8436 to (at the time writing future version of) the Second Life client, and a few patches to the Imprudence client ( https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Alternate_viewers#Imprudence ). My vision about viewer development is bringing viewer projects together to find a way of working together for the most user friendly viewer possible, a viewer that as well provides help for beginners as it provides expert features for experts. Without the experst spammed by beginner things and without beginners asking to activate expert features.
Enough?
