From Wikinfo
I am a retired lawyer who lives in Crestone, Colorado. I can be reached by email at fredbaud at fairpoint.net. I have been an active editor on Wikipedia for several years, but decided that substantial improvements could be made and started Wikinfo. I hope others will also find a separate project worthwhile. I continue to edit Wikipedia and served on the Arbitration Committee.
I am not at all technically competent, but learning. Hopefully a few people will come along who can help with that end of things. I do have considerable experience in editing articles and in that area will insist that certain policies be followed on Wikinfo in those areas that differentiate it from Wikipedia and provide the basis for a separate project. (Otherwise this is just a grossly inferior Wikipedia clone). I am working hard on the basic FAQ type help pages, but could use some help.
I have an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Colorado, earned in the bad old days when behaviorism advocates were in control of instruction, with a minor in sociology. Probably my most vivid undergraduate experience was a brief introduction to sociology of knowledge. My legal education was at night school at the University of Denver. I have read widely in almost every imaginable area of interest and continue those wide ranging interests here.
Some members of my family are interested in geneology and extensive research has been done. If you are related to the Bauders of Burlington, Colorado, the Bauders who lived for a time in Hoffnungstal near Odessa or if your family of Bauders originated in Pfullingen near Reutlingen this information may be of interest, see Bauderhistory.com or Are You Really a Bauder (Luella Bauder)
