Jan GOOSSENAERTS

consultant
Wikinetix (Private Sector)
Based in: 
Belgium

Inventor of #tagcoding, a new but simple digital skill for improved development communications.

The use of #tagcoding hashtags goes hand in hand with wiki-based tools supporting the rapid looking up and localization of (development) topic's coding hashtags. In localizing hashtags, the ISO 3166 alpha-2 language codes are used.

Such wikis, and the tools, can be created in all languages. This is the purpose of the #xy2wiki programme, with xy the ISO 639 code of any language. So far #tagcoding tags can be looked up in these languages: English (http://en2.wiki), Spanish (http://es2.wiki), French (http://fr2.wiki), Chinese (simplified) (http://zh2.wiki), Russian (http://ru2.wiki), Arabic (http://ar2.wiki), German (http://ger.wiki), Japanese (http://ja2.wiki), Hindi (http://hi2.wiki), Swahili (http://swa.wiki), Dutch (http://nl2.wiki), Tagalog (http://tgl.wiki) and Hiligaynon (http://www.hil.wiki).

Further details in the #tagcoding handbook.

Recommended technology for new wikis is wiki.js, as illustrated at w.xy2.wiki.

Contact me for pro bono support with the creation of a cloud-based wiki in your language (ref. How do I install wiki.js (in DigitalOcean))
