Hi Isabelle and Kate,
I agree with you regarding the very detailed threads on RDF, and because those
threads have lasted for quite along time I also didn't really participate in
the list until recently. However, I think the list could potentially be more
diverse in its questions and discussions and I personally could do with more
information on implementation and adoption issues (among other areas). Building
linked data applications for different audiences is hard (not just technically)
and I believe that we need to build up a body of knowledge and experience about
how to do it - and to do it well.
Cheers,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
I only joined the list a few months ago, so my observations might
be inaccurate, but
- Overall, most discussions on the list seem to be rather
philosophical (What is Linked Data? Does Linked Data require RDF?), which
are not the kind of discussions I was hoping for when I joined the list in the
first place
- My guess would be that the ratio between subscribers and people
posting on the list is rather low in general in addition to few
women being subscribed to the list (But I bet we can get some
statistics for that?)

Just a quick aside - I have noticed that I haven't seen any posts from women
