or maybe you should ask yourself if people didn't want to maintain them because they didn't do the job for them (my case). I can ask for a lab to explore the use of semantic mediawiki as semi-structured content management for labs and that would give me the right to run it on our zone (once we get it). And if we fail to maintain it or fail to get traction, we shut it down, along with the lab, no harm done. Would you still be against that? -- Stefano. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
