Rhonda Bracey: At Random

I have a new title: “Wiki gardener”! It’s a term used on JSPWiki.org for those who have the responsibility of keeping a Wiki weed and bug free, and it’s what I’ve been doing the past two days with a Wiki that was set up a year or so ago but that nobody’s taken care of since then. Just like an overgrown garden…
