General non-comprehensive list of projects I've done/been a part of. This is my portfolio. Very little of this was done exclusively by myself.

MediaWiki

Skins

• Timeless - Three-column responsive skin based on Vector and Brandon Harris' Winter designs; used as example for tech talk on how to create a MediaWiki skin. (example)
• BlueSky - Port of the wikiHow skin for general use, originally done for a GSoC project in which I mentored Jack Phoenix. (example)
• Skin for the LESA Library - made to match the style of the Legal Education Society of Alberta's online classroom as part of their general migration to a more modern online presense.
• GreyStuff - Grey skin. Simple and supposedly usable. Works with mobile. (example)
• Splash - Skin with splatter everywhere. Normally the default skin here. (example)
• Mask - Skin with a giant mask on it. (example)
• Aurora - Shiny blue skin that was a terrible mistake, but simply refuses to die.
• Example - An example skin, from which new skins are intended to be forked. Added more example.

Extensions

• CollaborationKit - Extension to set up and manage collaborative workspaces on a wiki. Part of the WikiProject X IEG.
• Madness - extension to compile and pull lines out of a mega-list database of quotes. Part of a series of bad php/mysql hacks used to maintain the overall list.
• Screenplay - extension to format screenplays with intuitive legible-source syntax (wrote up specs and styles, parser functionality implemented by MatmaRex)
• MediaWikiAuth updates and extended functionality
• Skinperpage fixes (updates for current MediaWiki)
• Interwiki display improvements and global support (merged in ShoutWiki InterwikiMagic)
• Flow/UnFlow - designs for discussion extensions that weren't used/never got anywhere

Miscellaneous projects

• Scripts to grab and import an entire wiki via the API

Wikimedia

On-wiki things:

• WikiProject X - a grant-funded project to research the needs of Wikipedia's collaborative spaces (WikiProjects) and design and develop more flexible and automated solutions
• Timeless - an unfunded grant proposal to do an exhaustive investigation into the needs and limitations surrounding Wikimedia/MediaWiki frontend usage through developing a cohesive new skin
• A gallery of uploads of picture contributions/edits; other minor fixes, watermark/border/whitespace removals, and simple vectorisations are not included

Uncyclomedia

Generally I just run the server these days.

Reskins

• twm: twm article in twm style
• Defacebook: If the wiki truly were Facebook, it'd have looked like this
• SOPA blackout reskin

Other things

• Project logos - remakes based on the original project logos
• Image manipulations - also known as potatochoppery (full list)
• Articles

Zaori

A set of wikis and services hosted on my personal server, maintained as a testing ground and secondary server to Uncyclomedia, for security and stability purposes. Which would be where you are now.

Stuff onwiki

• This - obligatory novel, half-baked and splattered across several pages. Generally fantasy and science fiction, with a healthy dosage of bizarre thrown in.
• D&D projects: Holes logs formatted for human-readable use, and Tesori Mal with categorised spells and a map
• Art - Pencil work, Vector art, GIMP work, Traditional media, 3D ship poject
• Some fonts made from scratch
• Some renders of otherworldly landscapes (reference material for stories)

Student projects

• A prototype for an IPv6 multi-nested router configuration, built on OpenWRT and flashed onto several routers to provide a functional demonstration
• Designs for Synapse - An app for online education participation
• Paper protypes and user reasearch for Easy Events - A website and app for finding and scheduling events based on location
• Dead Poet Jokes - a database of jokes that shows jokes based on viewer interest/ratings; was, sadly, populated by other students
