Yup. I didn't actually intend to target anyone not allready an RDFer.

Yup, partly. But partly also because we're all quite content with proof 
of concepts and demos that satisfy our own intellectual curiosity 
(which I admit is a character trait of my own person, I often loose 
interest upon realising that a problem has a solution), and partly 
because we work on a whole lot of projects and do not coordinate that 
much to put enough labor into a project that can make it all the way to 
useful.

So, this time around, what I had in mind is not recruitment, but to get 
the minds allready in the community engaged in doing a practical 
works-right-now-project, for the sake of promoting semweb ideas.
