People Hub

Who's named in the source OGM Wiki.

The source has only 4 dedicated People/ pages (Bill Anderson, Jerry Michalski, Peter Kaminski, Vincent Arena), but many more individuals are referenced via [[Wikilinks]] from across the corpus. This hub lists everyone we could reliably extract, with their reference count and source paths.

For each person we mark:

Founders / core OGM members

🌳 Peter Kaminski — 12 references

Pete Kaminski. The most-referenced founder in Tier A (12 linked-from in the OGM-community corpus, more counting Jerry's Nuggets). Source page is substantive (~2200 chars). Co-founder of OGM, instigator of Massive Wiki, runs CSC Mattermost, hosts Office Hours on Tuesdays and Massive Wiki Wednesdays.

Source: People/Peter Kaminski.md

🌳 Jerry Michalski — 7 references in Tier A (33 across full corpus)

The most-linked person in the entire wiki when Tier B (Jerry's Nuggets) is included. Curates Jerry's Brain — 25+ years of nuggets, the seed of many OGM concepts (Nuggets, Narratives, and Points of View; the embedded Projects/Jerry's Nuggets/ corpus). Founding Member of Open Global Mind, OGM Stewards, StoryThreaders Guild.

Source: People/Jerry Michalski.md — flagged in Orphan Gems as the wiki's strongest under-developed page given how often it's pointed to.

🌳 Bill Anderson

Retired data informatician, sociotechnical computer systems engineer, chemist. "Open access advocate and inveterate punster." Member of OGM and CSC. Currently no other Tier A pages link to him by [[Bill Anderson]] syntax — possibly because he's referenced by other forms of his name.

Source: People/Bill Anderson.md

🌳 Vincent Arena

Vincenzo. Member of OGM, CSC, Flotilla, Free Jerry's Brain, University Innovation Fellows, Cooperation Long Island. Bio explicitly modeled on Pete's.

Methodology and limitations

Person names extracted from the source by:

  1. Listing all [[Wikilink]] targets that are not the title of any existing page
  2. Filtering by heuristic: 2-3 words, each capitalized, alphabetic + apostrophes, not a known non-person word
  3. Cross-checking against frontmatter author: fields

Known limitations:
