I am the director of the Global Social Change Research Project http://gsociology.icaap.org. I learned about OpenWetWare from someone who posted a note on an email list I'm on (evaltalk from the American Evaluation Association), and I've joined because I can add to the page about Guide to Statistical Software http://openwetware.org/wiki/Guide_to_statistics_software

I am not with an institution, but I manage a website about program evaluation and social research methods. See this page for more info about me http://gsociology.icaap.org/report/whoare.html.
