Hi, my name is Wayne Eddy.

I live in Bundaberg, Australia, which is located about 400km north of Brisbane.

I am a Civil Engineer & I work for Bundaberg Regional Council as Manager Assets.

Of late I have become very interested in Collaboration & Collective Intelligence, and I can imagine a day in 5 or 10 or 20 years time, when most problems will be solved by large groups of people working together using collaborative software tools & expert systems, and I wonder what sort of roll Wikidot might play in that sort of world.

My main contribution to harnessing the collective intelligence of mankind so far is the Local Government & Municipal Knowledge Base.

I have a beautiful wife & two wonderful children.

I have been playing tennis for about twenty years and one of my wikidot projects is a website for the Bundaberg & District Tennis Association.

I used to read a lot of Science Fiction, and some of my favorite authors include; Vernor Vinge, David Brin, Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks, Greg Egan, Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle.

I taught myself C++ about 20 years ago, but I have only really ever worked on one project - The Atlas of Habitable Worlds - which I haven't worked on since I discovered Wikidot, but I might go back to one day.

Lastly I am die-hard Richmond Supporter, for the 99.9% of the world population that that means nothing to, Richmond is an Australian Rules Football Club, also known as the Tigers. Unfortunately we haven't won a flag since 1980, but there is always next year…..
