W3C Open Data Directory Community Group - next steps?

Hi,
I wanted to reach out to the 16 participants who expressed interest in the Open Data Directory Community Group.  As you may recall, the directory emerged out of the Government Linked Data working group who is working to wrap up its deliverables per the charter this quarter.

This list has been quiet.  A couple of us who have been maintaining the Directory to date have responded to support requests we get, typically turning them around in 1-2 days.  Most recently, Thomas Hoppe of N-fuse.de reported a bug yesterday that we fixed today.

If others are interested in getting more active in this community group & learning more about how to add capabilities or support this Directory of organizations actively working with open data on the Web, please let us know.    

The open source platform we used to create the Directory is called Callimachus.  Using Callimachus, you develop in a Web browser.  If you know HTML/CSS and some JavaScript and are familiar with Linked Data basics, you'll be up & running using Callimachus in an hour.[1]

Interested to know if people want to take this further.

Cheers,
Bernadette Hyland
