The group's work also involves setup and maintenance of dozens of wiki installations, plugin development for JSPWiki, and teaching the wikiway to the public. He worked with Audi and Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton, NJ. Before that, he worked as a database programmer with a German ERP company for several years.

Abstract
WikiCreole is a common wiki markup language to be used across different wikis, not replacing existing markup, but instead enabling wiki users to transfer content seamlessly across wikis. Ten wiki engines and four wiki tools have already implemented Creole.
