Re: Rena-based Ruby RDF library rewrite

Hey Tom,
That's great to hear. Dan Brickley has been poking me recently about Ruby
and RDF, and I've been conversing with Arto Beniken (owner of RDF.rb[1] on
RubyForge). Let's keep the momentum going.

The tarball link works, but I can't seem to pull up the repository link
without logging in. I've signed up for an account.

I'm looking forward to your work.
