Father of Wiki Quits MS, Moves to Eclipse
linumax writes "Microsoft has lost one of its high-profile hires to an open-source consortium. Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, announced on Monday that Ward Cunningham is leaving Microsoft to join the staff of the open-source tool consortium. Cunningham's new title is Director of Committer Community Development.Cunningham, the father of the Wiki concept, joined Microsoft about two years ago. At Microsoft, he was not involved directly in social-networking-software development. Instead, Cunningham worked as an architect with the company's Patterns & Practices Team."
Oh, you know... Evil.
The usual.
GCHQ Quantum Insert installed. If only our tongues were made of glass, how much more careful we would be when we speak
It's gotten to the point where on the front page yesterday, it mentioned dildos and pegging.
OMGWTF
This is seriously a disturbing turn of events! We can't let Wikipedia inform of methods to relieve sexual tensions with dildos! OMG, what is this crap? Think of the children! We must actively start aiming Wikipedia's front page for specific cultures and religions. Act now! Do YOU want your children to grow up in a society where people are informed about human sexuality?!
I wonder; if somebody leaves Microsoft, do they get their soul back?
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
Microsoft is like the youngest uncle at the family renions, too young to know that he's too old to be hanging out with the kids anymore.
You just made my day with that line. Thanks.
The correlation between ignorance of statistics and using "correlation is not causation" as an argument is close to 1.
