=== What I intend to do on this Wiki === | |||
Well, sometimes it's just a good thing to be ''able'' to contribute. I'll see if I can also get away from my ''Wikipedia is not a manual'' attitude when writing. ;-) | |||
I did a lot more than I first expected or intended, see my [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Johan_G&dir=prev&target=Johan+G contribution history]. I unintentionally become an admin in November 2013. That is, I didn't intended to become one. :-) | |||
