Re: state of the art

Leo,

I am very much interested in the objectives you outline and would like to
contribute. I will follow the additions to the wiki.

I created two Twines for Semantic Web Usability a while ago, but have not
found anyone interested in the topic. Please feel free to tuck things there
as well -- perhaps we could get some critical mass. Within a twine, we can
comment on each artifact we post.
