2018
August
- Adjust {{U}} template to use real name if it exists.
- Review channel flags on channels that I have @ permissions in on Freenode.
- Verify each channel by messaging chanserv with flags #channel
- Set the
+rchannel mode in #gentoo-pr to prevent unregistered users from spamming messages via: /mode #gentoo-pr +r - Set
+iRon myself so that unregistered users cannot spam me in the global user list or spam me with messages via: /mode maffblaster +iR
- Add 'Developer bug' link to {{Developer}} template.

2017
July
- Provide
+Vto all Gentoo developers in the #gentoo-pr channel on Freenode IRC.- Messaged chanserv with flags #gentoo-pr *!*@gentoo/developer/* +V
- Elevate all active PR members on IRC to
+Oin #gentoo-pr. - Started a draft policy for PR team.
- Redundancy in administration desired across the official Gentoo maintained sites.
- Official Gentoo logo to be used on sites (where applicable).
- Elevated to lead of the wiki project after no responses for team lead election after about a month. Previous team lead (Alex Legler (a3li)) missing for 7 months.
- Added Slack and Telegram chat to list of social sites.
- Add collapse-output functionality to {{GenericCmd}}, {{Cmd}}, and {{RootCmd}} templates. This is to supplement the {{Invocation}} and {{RootInvocation}} templates.
- Found documentation: I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING variable. This can can be set to a value of
1(or any defined value) to skip pre-merge safety checks. This allows machines with below minimum mounts of disk space or memory (RAM) try to emerge an ebuild.
user $grep -r I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING /usr/portage/eclass

March
Foundation articles
Wikified most of the articles in the Foundation namespace. Meetings may still need some tender love and care but I'll probably never get to them; they're not important.
March
- Added ebuild repository URI the {{Developer}} template (for developer profiles).
February
Joined the Gentoo Foundation
Joined the Gentoo foundation as a "Foundation wiki editor".
Having a developer template for referencing Ebuild repositories would be good a nice way to make our developers personal repositories more accessible.
2016
Blog InfoBox template
Created the {{InfoBox blog}} template for articles that reference a project's blog:
{{InfoBox stack |{{InfoBox blog|https://planet.gentoo.org}} }}
RootInvocation template
Created the {{RootInvocation}} template to be exclusively used to display root command invocation options.
This template can provide people with a web-based reference that can be expanded or contracted based on a single click by the user. Helpful for online command referencing and convenient so that editors do not have to specify a custom prompt and color when a root prompt is necessary to invoke the command.
Invocation template
Created the {{Invocation}} template to be exclusively used to display command invocation options.
This template can provide people with a web-based reference that can be expanded or contracted based on a single click by the user. Helpful for online command referencing.
Deprecate gdoc Infobox, replace with project Infobox
{{InfoBox project}} is really the term that should be used as the InfoBox link to Gentoo projects. Not {{InfoBox gdoc}}. :P
Article blueprints 1.1
Added Devices and Meta article blueprints.

This is a warning message.
