hi LINKers,

have been aware of this list for some years but haven't been a member
for a while -- an oversight that probably occurred when I changed
email addresses :)

As @stilgherrian noted, I am not aiming to make money from the
Delimiter Wiki. I set it up because as a journalist, I have long been
frustrated by the lack of a central knowledgebase about the Australian
ICT industry that would go some ways towards recording its long and
controversial history.

As I have recently setup my own company, I am now in a position to
make this happen.

As for the question: "Why not contribute to Wikipedia?", I have found
that Australian content gets lost in the vast fields of Wikipedia and
is hard to find. Sure, there are the odd bits and pieces, but in
general they are linked to all the international stuff and the
Australian context gets lost.

Delimiter Wiki is intended to be an Australian view of the Australian
ICT industry, as Delimiter itself is. I am a staunchly Australian
publisher.

In actual fact, if you want to take the Delimiter Wiki content and
simply cut and paste it into Wikipedia, under the terms of the CC
licence, that would be completely fine :)

And if you *still* think I'm getting rich off Delimiter, come check
out my office sometime ;)
