Dude...you're having way too much fun with these. I'm all for enjoying your work, but this is ridiculous.
And who's this Simon knucklehead anyway?
Jim,
EXCELLENT feature.
And thanks for the kind words about the blog and the tutorial.
Daragh
Oh Jim. You should be in Sales! You're Awesome!
Thanks for the most communivative FF I have ever seen and I LOVE THE MATRIX CODE!
Thanks everyone for providing your feedback on my Follow Friday experiment!
Two apologies for (once again) mispronouncing people's names:
(1) For some reason, I just can't pronounce the given name of Henrik Liliendahl Sørensen without inserting a "D" into it! It is Henrik and not HenDrik!
(2) I also mispronounced the family name of Jill Wanless - it is not "Wayne Less" like I said in the video - it is "Juan Less" or "Won Less" as in Won Ton Soup - and if you can't pronounce Juan or Won - then go with "One Less" and at least you will be kinda close to correct!
Just to prove that I am not completely clueless, I did pronounce Daragh O Brien and Jill Dyché correctly:
– The "gh" is Daragh is silent, so don't say "Da Rack" say "Da Ra"
– Dyché is pronounced like "Dish A" as in the obvious preferred choice over "Dish B"
In the interest of good data quality and information management I think it would be a great idea to save your 'pronunciation' information somewhere where it could be easily referenced if needed.
This handy reference tool could be the 'Twitter DQ guide' of sorts and also include some newly coined DQ terms and their definitions. Then perhaps it could be supplemented with some soon to be famous DQ quotes made by persons such as yourself and others of the Twitter DQ community.
Contributors could tweet about any updates/changes/edits they made - how's that for an easy-peasy marketing strategy? It would have been great to have something like this when I first began using Twitter!
The effort to do this could be minimized if it was collaborative, and the resulting reference tool could be a great way to 'Brand' the Twitter DQ community and potentially generate interest from a broader audience.
Has this been done before do you know?
Jill
Thanks for the thought provoking comment, Jill!
I definitely agree with the premise of your suggestion. To my knowledge, this hasn't been done before.
You got me thinking about how best to do it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Does anyone have a Data Quality Wiki where that kind of information might belong, or even a broader data / information management wiki? Maybe we should start one via the Twitter DQ community. I'd contribute.
Starting a Data Quality Wiki is a great idea, Paul!
I would love to contribute to one and I agree that the Twitter DQ Community would as well.
I guess the real question becomes how (and where) exactly would we set that up?
Anyone have Wiki experience?
Guys, I started a wiki where I work to house (and facilitate collaborative stewardship) business metadata.
After 1 year we have 21 contributors and 1000 hits per month.
So not too shabby considering the 'from the ground up' approach :)
I've got some ground rules, recommended contributor policies, even templates we could leverage.
I'll see if I can find some options that could work here.
Happy days!
While Jill Wanless (aka Jill Wiki-more) applies her Wiki Wisdom to the preliminary planning of a Data Quality Wiki, we are crowdsourcing a name for it.
Suggestions so far (via Twitter):
– D-QWiki
– dqref
– DQpedia
– WIQi - Wiki for Information Quality - some fun with the letters
Any additional suggestions?
theDQwantum - a reference to the Star Trek term: "wantum physics", which is used to describe whatever the writer wants it to accomplish
DQosphere or DQsphere - taken from the twitter term: "twitosphere", which describes a community
DQ Twiki - a combination of twitter/wiki
And I like all of the above!
I like DQWiki or D-QWiki it is predictable and can be easily found (especially someone who is gettin started in DQ Field).
On other hand, DQWantum sounds cool and so Star Trek...

For some reason I missed this earlier Jim, apologies, so thanks for the kind words and the great plug, great idea.
Cheers,
Dylan
P.S. www.dqwiki.com gets my vote!
I think DQWiki, DQsphere or DQ Twiki all sound fun.
I'd consider posting once things are up and running...
