I'd gladly oversee the NIE stack. Having people with reasonable understanding of semantic tech and NIE and in- depth knowledge of a particular topic join to maintain this specific part is a good idea too.

We've got a bugzilla product at FDO, but we don't really have any control over it. It appears we can't import or export anything. Also FDO is very well known for taking a lot of time to process even trivial requests(such as adding a project). You can forget about infrastructure requests. So if we use FDO, we're stuck with a small set of software some of which is out of sync with reality(CVS) and to which we don't have a full access(such as for import/export). On the other hand we have semanticdesktop.org, sf.net and xesam.org FDO is nice as an idea, but the implementation is far from it. > curious to learn the itnerna there, > > best > Leo _______________________________________________ Xesam mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xesam
