About Moi
I host, operate, and do most of the editing here on HTYP, though I welcome other contributors. IRL I am sometimes known as "Nick"; there is more complete contact information here and a more substantial/general homepage here.
HTYP was one of about three wiki projects I started at about the same time, in 2005 (the other two being Issuepedia and our family site, The HypertWiki).
I also similarly operate the "Sister Sites" listed in the navbar on the left, as well as The Center for Wingnut Remedial Education, and I do hosting and occasional site maintenance for LessigWiki.
I have been physically transitioning to female since mid-2016; there is more information about that here.
The rest of this page is in need of reorganization and updating...
