Foundation articles
Wikified most of the articles in the Foundation namespace. Meetings may still need some tender love and care but I'll probably never get to them; they're not important.

March

 * Added ebuild repository URI the Developer template (for developer profiles).

Joined the Gentoo Foundation
Joined the Gentoo foundation as a "Foundation wiki editor".

Having a developer template for referencing Ebuild repositories would be good a nice way to make our developers personal repositories more accessible.

Blog InfoBox template
Created the InfoBox blog template for articles that reference a project's blog:

RootInvocation template
Created the RootInvocation template to be exclusively used to display root command invocation options.

This template can provide people with a web-based reference that can be expanded or contracted based on a single click by the user. Helpful for online command referencing and convenient so that editors do not have to specify a custom prompt and color when a root prompt is necessary to invoke the command.

Invocation template
Created the Invocation template to be exclusively used to display command invocation options.

This template can provide people with a web-based reference that can be expanded or contracted based on a single click by the user. Helpful for online command referencing.

I really appreciated the themes in the older GuideXML format. The notes were green instead of blue there, and I miss the old color.
