Wikipedia is my hobby. The idea of free knowledge enthusiasms me because we are performing a fun activity while contributing to build a work that has value for humankind.
It seems to me that this paradigm breaks the classical outlines of economy where you dedicate a part of your time to do things for the others in exchange for money in a stressful environment and another part of your time to consume things using this money. I think that if there were more and more people dedicating to the projects part of their time the world would be a bit better and the people would live a bit happier.
My participation to the projects
- At Catalan Wikipedia I contribute writing, translating and improving articles about mathematics.
- At Catalan Wikibooks I have contributed meaningfully to four books: Viquipèdia (Wikipedia) Translating from French, Matemàtiques accés a grau superior (Mathematics to pass the entry exam for superior professional education), Python 3 (Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 3) translating from English and Tutorial de bots (Bots tutorial).
- At Spanish Wikipedia my contributions are focused around the project Wikiproyecto Wikifabricación (Wikiproject Wikimanufacture).
- At French Wikipedia I have reviewed the INSEE codes (Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques - National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies) of the 36.000 French municipalities and I have corrected the only 30 mistakes I found.
