1.Were you a member of the WikiProject before the recent CfD cases and the revival of the Project? If yes, what were your reactions? If no, what made you join?

A:

Prior to the RfC at the Village Pump, I wasn't a member of WikiProject Portals. In all honesty I considered portals to be some kind of weird hangover from the early years of Wikipedia; some still bear markup from the era in web development when you only dealt with a screen resolution of 1024 × 768.

Nowadays many people, including myself, access Wikipedia from mobile phones. It's a reasonable expectation that content renders correctly for all users.

I joined the WikiProject because i wanted to be part of bringing portals into a new age of design and automation.

Right now I feel that when a reader enters an a-typical portal they think 'What on God's Earth is this?' and then immediately click the back button. They are overwhelmed by links, and left confused, possibly wondering if they accidently clicked their bookmark for 4chan.

2. How has the revival of the WikiProject been going? Has the initial enthusiasm been sustained?

A:

Full-steam ahead. Many editors are making great, and innovative contributions. 'The Transhumanist' in particular has been a leading light for the WikiProject.

3. How will the future look for the WikiProject?

A:

The WikiProject will probably meet the same fate as it did last time. That's why adding automated features to portals is so important.


4. A more fundamental question - what are portals? What, for you, is their purpose?

A:

Portals are a way of guiding readers through a topic; in an engaging and tangible way.

5. Has your work on this WikiProject informed your work on others? If yes, how? Any advice for other WikiProjects?

A:

There is a great deal of Lua code being utilized in portals. This programming language may see wider usage across other WikiProjects.


Anything else you'd like to add?
