Super Painter Spotlight: just_tonya

Meet just_tonya: a research scientist by day and wiki whiz by night (and weekends too) whose many talents include music (flute, organ, harpsichord and piano), hula (she placed 3rd in a hula contest in college), and hog calling (yep, hog calling)! We asked Tonya, one of our most prolific Super Painters, why she’s so passionate about makin’ wiki. Here’s what she had to say:
“I was ecstatic to learn of wikis. After I completed my research project, I had a file cabinet full of information that was helping no one sitting in my house. Wikis allowed me to easily create a website to share my information with others. By building a community for the site, each team is able to help keep the information up-to-date. Although I have been a techie — it’s almost impossible to keep up with all the advances in Web technology in my current job. So, using a wiki service released me from that burden: a site easy to create, where I could involve non-techies, with no need to worry about software installation/upgrades or servers, plus it was FREE!”
Stop by one of Tonya’s many wikis and say hi!

Tonya is great! She knows a lot about all the different wiki platforms and is an expert on using wiki technology in the workplace. We’re lucky to have her building sites on Wetpaint!
