more volunteers go maintain stuff, excellent,
I moved the list to sourceforge, see below,
then you can all maintain it.

Hello Xesamies (Xesams, Xesamians, is there an accepted form? ),
Xesamies sounds good :)
I volunteer for:
- moving the current ontology source files to whatever repository is
chosen, both the trunk and the 8 'revisions' already 'released'
- dropping the legacy constraint that the ontologies must be editable
in Protege, which didn't work anyway, and make the protege->NRL
conversion step unnecessary
- moving the doc generator to whatever repository is chosen
- setting up the "build" so that with a single call to 'ant' the
documentation will be regenerated and all example files will be
validated against the current version of the ontology
- spearheading the effort to get some export of the trac history from
the nepomuk trac and importing it to whatever issue tracker is chosen
(I personally favour trac, dunno how difficult it would be to
import trac issues to bugzilla - all kinds of comments welcome).
- maintaining the 'build' code infrastructure
- helping all other ontology maintainers as far as I can
- maintaining all the ontology parts for which no separate maintainer
steps up. I've been reading through the thread and it seems there
were two people willing to take on the maintenance duties.
NRL -
NAO -
NIE -
NFO - Ivan Frade
NMO - Roberto Guido
NCO -
NCAL -
NEXIF -
NID3 -
Dunno if the original authors of NRL (as stated at [7]) will want to get
involved with it now. It seems that the number of volunteers is far from
astonishing ATM :)
I can afford to be a backup maintainer for all this. As long as people are
willing to write code, I'll find the time to tell them what to do^H^H^H^H^H
maintain ontologies :)
This can work for awhile. More visibility and synergetic effects will fix this
over time.
I can be maintainer of NMM once we agree to include that in the official
ontologies (and drop the NID3 and possibly even NEXIF while doing so).
Also, by replacing the nid3, and nexif, we have 1 less ontology to get a
maintainer for ;).
Pros:
I designed that together with Evgeny Egorochkin and Mikael Ottela.
NMM is still not completely sanity tested and may still need quite a few
changes, so I would be a good person to do that.
Cons:
Quite busy until next autumn.
I must admit that it feels a bit like stealing to offer maintainership
of something I didn't develop myself, but here goes anyway :-)
I could probably take NAO - or to be honest I have great interest in
the particular subject of annotations and I believe that the NAO could
be so much more powerful. As a side note I must also admit that I've
found that it doesn't meet my needs for how we plan to use Gnome
Zeitgeist. More or that at a later time...
I don't have a lot of time, but NAO is small (and I believe it should
stay that way) so it might work out.
ok, put you on the list...
as we kind-of-agreed to move to sourceforge, I now made a copy of this
list here:

which was before there:
