Re: Outdated linkeddata.org website

Kingsley,

Hold on I don't get it. We're talking about the entry-point for Linked Data
information, which is linkeddata.org

Of course then we will link to other resources and sites (just as the site
is doing now). I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to.

What problem are you trying to solve exactly? We're simply trying to make
linkeddata.org more open and accessible.
