I'm currently in the violent throws of academic deadlines. Come next
month, I'll be able to work on Reddy totally guilt-free. Hopefully
I'll be able to make it suck a lot less, to the point where it is
actually useful. Ideally, we'd have One True Way of doing RDF in Ruby,
and it could abstract both Redland (on C Ruby), Jena (on JRuby),
something I don't know about yet (on IronRuby) and my hastily
sellotaped together parsers written in Ruby.

I'm thinking of having a "hack Reddy" day, where the intersection of
people (a) interested in RDF, (b) interested in Ruby and (c) within
easy reach of London could get together for one day and make this
stuff all work. (c) is optional, of course - if it were to happen,
we'd be checking our commits in and hanging out on IRC, so non-UK
people could participate.

Yours,
