I use the german Wikipedia very often. Since I know a lot about PHP and template engines I wrote some articles there and edited some others. After some time I became a big fan of MediaWiki and decided with Patrik to create a CMS based on MediaWiki. "mwCMS" was born.

If you want to see photos or want to know other stuff about me, visit my german homepage. I play basketball and I am a referee. StarCraft is my favorite game in my spare time.
