+1 for 10. SMW has a long history and the under-the-hood and process improvements that the team has done justifies the large jump IMHO. === Think Different! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_different#Text) Imagine Different! (http://www.yout

I think its worthwhile to move forward as Jeroen proposed. In the semantic-mediawiki.org site development documentation, we should just direct SMW developers to use GH as their primary repo, and Gerrit is primarily just used for i18n. We have the benefit of being able to tap NYU-Poly MS CS candid

What about making it a hybrid solution? Mongo for entity/page details, a graph DB for "higher-level" metadata/properties to support queries? Mongo is great for scalability and as a KV store(maybe you can even store docs as JSON-LD), but doesn't have the querying power of a graph DB or RDBMS. Gra

Hi Jeroen, I actually played around with the Maps 3.x and found it was going through major refactoring. And since NYCpedia is heavily dependent on polygons and there was already a pending auto-centering patch which we sorely needed, we decided to go with 2.x for now. We realize this will compl
