Wikis

trustlet

In 2007 I've been researching trust metrics for social networks, with Paolo Massa. I started a framework in Python to create and analyse datasets, available under the GNU GPL and I started the wiki, available under the Creative Commons Attribution license.

Souren Consultancy

Kasper Souren is available for projects and for contract work related to free software. My specialties are Drupal, MediaWiki, search engine optimization and Python. I have a wide range of experience in working for NGOs as well as with profit companies across the globe, ranging from Geekcorps Mali to CouchSurfing to B'Tselem, a social network with over 5 million members in the Netherlands and with my SEO skills I've successfully attracted many customers to a furniture business, in a time of recession.

Hosting

I'm hosting a lot of different websites. Many wikis running MediaWiki and a lot of websites running Drupal. I mostly host through Hetzner, which is running on green electricity.

wik2dict

wik2dict is a tool I wrote in Python. It converts MediaWiki SQL dumps into the DICT format.

I'm not actively maintaining this anymore, Aard Dictionary seems the way to go.

We're working on 73 pages. If this number somehow bothers you you are very welcome to start a new page.

Underscores to dashes in MediaWiki (not yet)

Submitted by Kasper Souren on July 22, 2009 - 21:54
It's clear that dashes (-) are better than underscores (_) for search engine optimization. So people have looked for ways to make MediaWiki use -. Wikihow is one of the few MediaWiki sites that behaves this way, but unfortunately even they don't seem to be running an extension for this. I tried my luck at changing the MediaWiki core (Title.php) but I'll leave this for now.

Sharewiki

Sharewiki is a wiki about Sharing. We started on November 6, 2008.

Trashwiki

Trashwiki was started in 2008. My friend Robin told me to register trashwiki.org after a brainstorm in casarobino. Honestly, I didn't immediately see the point, but it didn't take long. A global guide for dumpster divers with information on how to, where and what to dumpster dive was born.

P2P foundation

Since 2007 I've provided technical support to the P2P foundation. Both the MediaWiki installation as well as some work related to the WordPress blog.
