Current status
The routine I have currently established is to do work for ISFDB once per week, for one evening/night. There is no fixed day of the week when I will be present.
In urgent cases (rather improbable, I'm just a lowly editor :-) I can be contacted by email or (possibly) instant messaging, see below for details.
My interest in ISFDB
Being an avid SF reader, ISFDB of course is on my list of useful Internet resources, alongside other services such as IMDB or Wikipedia. Since I believe in community efforts, I have always felt a diffuse need for contributing something back to those projects that I take advantage of. Unfortunately, most of the time those projects have already passed the stage where I believe my feeble efforts could make any difference. ISFDB on the other hand has opened up for public editing rather recently, so I think that my help could still be of some use.
My interest in SF
I have been reading SF&F, horror and mystery stories since my early teens, but in more recent times SF has become the main focus of my interest. I mostly read for entertainment, currently I prefer older stuff from the 1940-1970ies. I also try to get a vague overview over the history of SF, but I have no real scholarly interest in the field. Although English is not my first language (I am Swiss), I almost exclusively read my books in English - otherwise I would not be here, I guess :-)
Projects / Goals
Enter my not-so-big books collection into the ISFDB.
Learn python and study the code that runs ISFDB, together with its DB scheme.
Generate a list of "books that I own", aka shamelessly exploit ISFDB for personal benefit. Maybe I even have to help working on this feature request - mon dieu, quel horreur! :-)
Contact
I have a confirmed email address in my Wiki preferences, so you can simply send me an email.
Alternatively, you can try to contact me on Skype. My Skype name is patrick.naef.
