For some reason I am now just stumbling across this newish weblog by our own fabulous Kristina Weis
Her latest post is about the new feature on AboutUs called Recent Contributors and is most excellent!
“This new feature on AboutUs is so exciting for me! It makes the history of each wiki page leaps and bounds more transparent and personal by showing a Recent Contributors box to the right with portraits of the most recent editors to the page. (Contributors who have not yet uploaded a portrait are indicated by a question mark, and a page that has yet to be edited invites the person viewing the page to be the first contributor.)
Check it out! Go to any page on AboutUs and see how it looks. Then edit the page and watch yourself get added to the first slot in that page’s Recent Contributors box. (If you aren’t seeing your photo upload it this way.)“

I quote myself from my original reply on Kristina’s blog. :].
I agree with you Kristina! I loved it when it was sysop only, now I’m excited that it is out for everyone to enjoy! It even helped when I was accidently logged out or I open up another browser quickly; makes it fun without the hassle of having to click ‘history’ or login since I’m a sysop and see it.
I even love more that they use portraits for this! I think this is a positive thing for us as a community.
Dev did a nice job, eh?
Gee, thanks Mark! Does this mean I’m syndicated now?
Thanks

A really interesting fellow.
John – thanks for this – I will try to find this online. Best, Mark
Nice New Feature….It allows to see who is interested in improving and contributing to the page rather than just the visitor…
