Wrapping up?

[Ben Hyde <bh...@pobox.com>]

Hi All.

I'm writing wearing my mentor hat, with my RDF enthusiast's hat  
stuffed under my arm.

I've discussed this with a few folks privately and I think the time  
has come to give serious consideration to setting this incubator  
project aside.

Getting one of these things to catch fire is always a challenge.   
People have done a great job in this case of doing the right things  
to collect the tinder, set the spark, shout out to the right parties,  
etc.

But, I think, it's clear that we don't have enough people with both  
sufficient interest, need, and time to make this take off.

So, my question to folks is:

   Shall we adjourn?

I think it may be time. It was a lack of time that killed it for most
folks I suspect :-(

[result] Wrapping up?

So, we got a +1 from Ben, David, Stefano, and me (on private@), and  
now here. That's it then.

Into the mothballs, triplesoup goes. Let's see if I can figure out  
what this means, infrastructurally.
