I agree, we need to have a Primer that gives people enough of a sense  
of "this is useful and cool, I should read more," and leave further  
education to a more nimble process/community.

Let's make sure it stays rdfa.info. We can improve the design if we  
have time, although I think that's not the first priority.

yes.

yes

yes, although let's be sure not to fragment too much. We have a  
mailing list for the spec, and I'm open to *one* more mailing list for  
users/authors. The existing list should remain for developers and in- 
depth syntax discussion. I don't want to branch any more than that.

The CC hosting seems like a good direction to follow, since that  
doesn't add any more dependencies than we already have, and the CC  
admins have been super responsive to all of my requests. I would  
prefer W3C hosting in a perfect world, but I fear that will take  
longer to set up than we need.
