I've submitted a draft, skeleton WikiPedia article ("Dean Cameron Allen"), which I suppose the WikiPedia gods must bless before it appears. Not sure how that works these days.

Perhaps some mention of favrd, citation of AListApart articles, Joyent press releases, etc. Also, WikiPedia is fussy about photography rights, so anyone with unambiguous ownership of useful photos can be very helpful here. Please contribute. I'm optimistic that a dca article will be approved once there's more meat on its bones and it has multiple contributors. Thanks.
