As has been noted, Aaron (User:AaronSw) was a prolific Wikipedian
since 2003 and a candidate in the 2006 Board election. His writings
during his election campaign are worth re-reading:

Condolences to all that knew him - very tragic - especially at such a young age.
If my memory is correct (and that's a gamble) I seem to recall knowing about
him more from his work on early RSS around the age of 13. I was in college
doing websites at the time and recall being rather impressed

What a dreadful loss. I never knew Aaron except through his work and his
writings, but he always came across as a confident person who was truly
passionate about the work that he did. We're all the poorer for his
passing. My condolences to everyone on this list who knew him.

Aaron explained how he originally measured Wikipedia contributions:

end of the main essay. Less
This is the worst news of last year for Wikimedia, Aaron has been a
genial and precious member of our community.
