Re: Use of Content Management Systems, ranking and usage in Semantic Web

Mike,

I downloaded your listing last year. It is a good start but also a long way off from having a good overview of the gaps in the transition to a scenario in which SW apps, IDEs, add-ons and plugins are available for mainstream web site design and creation.

Too much effort in the SW community is bottom up, whereas the internet typically works topdown.

Here is a listing of 30 FF semWeb-related extensions from 18 months ago I know
to be substantially out of date:

And, you can also do various filters and sorts (Javascript, for one; PHP for
many CMS-related) on the 700 Sweet Tools listing for a more recent cut:
