Re: Release of SAGE 1.0: a stable, responsive and unrestricted SPARQL query server

Hi.
Not really my business (:-) - but that has never stopped me!), but I really don't understand the request for a live endpoint.
If I want to evaluate different implementations of a software system, what I do is download or implement on my own server, and then run them (multiple times) over the same datasets on the same hardware configuration etc, so that I am comparing the same things while controlling as many variables as possible.
Running stuff on other peoples' servers, with no reliable knowledge of the hardware or possibly even the datasets, seems of no value in terms of relative performance.
So why are you asking for a SPARQL endpoint?
Best
Hugh
