Karsten Hoffmeyer
My name is Karsten Hoffmeyer aka Kghbln and I am very much into wikis, especially into the MediaWiki wiki engine which allows for using Semantic MediaWiki. The first version of Semantic MediaWiki I actively used was Semantic MediaWiki 1.4.3Released on 15 August 2009 and compatible with MW 1.13.x - 1.16.x..
I am co-owning Professional.Wiki a MediaWiki hosting and MediaWiki consultancy company which provides state-of-the-art MediaWiki hosting with many benefits via ProWiki. If you are into Wikibase then The Wikibase Consultancy may be of help for your project.
In case you would like to contact me please use either my talk page or send me an e-mail.
Me:
I am one of the most active editors on MediaWiki.org and the most active editor on Semantic-MediaWiki.org from where you most probably know me best.
I also help translate the system messages for MediaWiki, Semantic MediaWiki, and extensions at TranslateWiki.net where I also do translations for other free and Open-Source software projects. I am also active on WikiIndex.org and on WikiAPIary.com. In the Free Software Directory I see to it, that the listings of MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki are up-to-date.
In October 2015 I commenced providing MediaWikiWidgets.org for the community as well as until March 2019 Semantic MediaWiki - Sandbox. In July 2016 the MediaWiki Foreground Skin and in March 2017 the MediaWiki Pivot Skin demo wiki followed.
In December 2015 I took over administering Semantic-MediaWiki.org and in March 2019 Semantic MediaWiki - Sandbox.
