it will be hard to maintain an ontology community-driven.

That is why I wanted to start with a new project, something without history. I don't think using xesam.org is a good idea. For two reasons: 1. the name - xesam is the search API, and the ontologies should be maintained under a neutral name 2. missing infrastructure - a wiki is IMHO one of the worst ways to discuss something. Thus, we need a bug tracker and dedicated mailing list and all that jazz _______________________________________________ Xesam mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xesam
