Hi all, once we got over the 0.2.0-incubating milestone, I think it's time to meditate what's the future of Commons RDF...
FMPOV it's clear that we're far away from where we wanted to be when we started this journey of incubation. Many reasons to explain why: the incubation overhead, the discussions, the different personal/professional priorities, key people withdraws, etc. Which in the end is all normal. But that's part of the past, we have to look to the present. And if I look to our team I can only count two active contributors Stian and myself), which is clearly not enough to help the major toolkits (Apache Jena and Eclipse RDF4J) to converge towards a commons API; we clearly lost the timing on that (Jena 3.x is out there for quite a while and RDF4J's first milestones came out last week). So I'd like to make a straight question to all our community: what do we want to do with the project? If I'm honest, currently I'm more about retiring the podling than continue, but you may have a different point of view... and I'd live to hear it. -- Sergio Fernández Partner Technology Manager Redlink GmbH m: +43 6602747925 e: [email protected] w: http://redlink.co
