Pages I've edited:

  • Binary-code compatibility
  • ARM architecture (and related)
  • Android (operating system) (and related)
  • Firefox (and OS and related and other browsers) – I have contributed bug reports and translation fixes but no code.
  • Julia – Possible semi-COI – So far I haven't contributed meaningfully to the language itself, but I plan to as a "volunteer"[1] and think I'll remember to update here saying so...
    • Stopped editing Julia, it just seems to much trouble (EDIT: now just with small changes). I guess editing programming language articles is just difficult to do right. Might apply to technical articles in general, where the best sources are primary ones.
