Welcome! Will this wiki take off?? Romualdo


 * It could, but it may take some time. Smaller, more specific metrics could be begun, integrating some of the current ones, while gradually working toward the broader, more sweeping goal.  --Tinker


 * Texas?? Power of internet! I'm trying to improve my English, so if you see mistakes in the articles... --RomualdoGrillo 09:51, 20 July 2007 (PDT)

 * It's good practice to sign with ~, that way there's both a timetag and a link to your User page. And, it's great to see this wiki taking off this fast! We haven't even started advertising it on mailing lists and such! :) guaka wikitalk 09:05, 21 July 2007 (PDT)

Thanks for the tip. This is the first wiki I've tried to actively edit, so I'm still on a steep learning curve for the specifics. I just happened to find TrustLet while looking at the new online wiki science journal experiments that were branching out to fill the 'No new research' void created in Wikipedia policy. Since credibility is a factor in trust, and use of language is a factor in credibility, when I saw some struggling here with English as a secondary language I thought I might be able to give this fledgling wiki a hand.

Speaking of trust, I've wandered deep enough in here now to decide to commit to the next level, and come out from behind the username-handle. I may also be able to help some with the datasets, analysis, and presentation, as that is my primary background. Tinker 13:08, 21 July 2007 (PDT)


 * Hi Tinker! Still around on the wiki? I tried to assess some of the points you raised lately. Especially at TrustLet:Community Portal. --PaoloMassa 08:30, 17 August 2007 (PDT)
