Re: [Fwd: CFP: 4th Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web, at ESWC2008 (inc special focus on SW data from social interactions)]

Yes, please do come! And please do also consider submitting a paper or
Scripting Challenge entry to the workshop. If there's anything us
workshop organisers can do to help with promoting the Ruby effort then
please let us know.

Cheers,

Tom.
