Krótka prezentacja	I am continually amazed by the things I see at wikipedia and its sister projects. My first experience with computers was programming simple games using punch tape, and the on an Apple_II_Plus. I got my first email account in 1986 and started poking around on newsgroups, MUDs and the Internet shortly after. I see the wikis as a great example of the possibilities of the Internet to disseminate knowledge and to build civil society. As a board member, the issues I would focus on issues in three broad areas: 1. Building community Peer review is what makes wikipedia great. Petty infighting is aggravating and drives people away. I would work on ways to prevent conflicts Admins and sysops are a great group of people. We need to promote their work by improving the ways they are selected Promote communities of individuals with interest and expertise in specific topics. This in turn will improve article quality. 2. Promoting articles that expand knowledge, are accurate and fair Promoting interlanguage coordination – reducing the difference between articles in different languages and strengthening the projects with a smaller number of articles by making translations easier. Building partnerships with verified resources (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) to improve the accuracy of articles and improving the reliability the information Promoting groups of technical experts in key areas (like copyright issues). Improving the brain trust involved in key issues will help with reducing conflicts between contributors. 3. Building a strong financial base for the foundation Increase the financial stability by expanding the donor base of the foundation. This includes promotion of an endowment. Work to recruit volunteers and donors to the foundation and acknowledgement of those donors. Explore ways that we can use technology to improve how information is delivered. Build our technical infrastructure I have the experience in non-profit management and the technical knowledge to contribute to the wikimedia foundation.
