No not at all. It is just a real application that one can use to think through the issues with something fun at the end to show. It's a use case if you will, with real working code, like some of the other projects we have in the WebID space. In the end we should be able to specify these with simple test suites using curl. > > I think we first need a simple messaging system, then to build a mini > social net. That's just another plan. Sounds good too. But I am focusing on the address book right now, since we have some code and people who are interested in it. > Then apps like an address book, imho. > > You can, of course, try it the other way round, but then you have to > persuade enough others to use the same system, which can sometimes be > as tricky as coding the app itself! :) Are you saying that an address book app that does PUT, POST of RDF to data.fm won't work because it's an address book app? I don't understand.
