( sorry I am copying this, sent it in private ) Hugh, Oh I am not saying you are against this, like anyone else in this group you are evidently pushing this forward. This is just a debate excercise right? Not trying to second guess your intentions. Please all I tried to point out is exactly that. We are using this list to debate in public. Do we want to debate in public? If we do, perfect. But beware that we are bouncing people off because, gee, take a look at the level of the discussions! People just want to know what this big cloud of data is, what they can get out of it, how to use it, etc. Or else we will fall back again into the SW obscure alley. I am risking getting bullied in the list for pointing this out, but I think it is worth it. We are making some progress here in terms of world PR.
