Another passing observation aimed at defusing the client / server debate: W3C mailing lists are also available as "RSS feeds". These feed URLs, in our case http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-semweb-lifesci/feed.rss ...can be put into newsreading software (desktop or web-based such as www.bloglines.com) to give members of the community another way of keeping track of discussions, without over-burdening their mailboxes. http://dmoz.org/Reference/Libraries/Library_and_Information_Science/Technical_Services/Cataloguing/Metadata/RDF/Applications/RSS/News_Readers/ ...is a list of some RSS-reading software. It can be used to read this newsfeed and many others, organised by topic, date, etc. The W3C "feeds" for discussion lists aren't perfect, I think they could be improved eg. in their handling of threads, but they may prove useful to some folks here. Hope this helps, Dan
