Re: CG startup

Hello everyone,

There are now over 70 participants in this CG!

We have started with a lot of ideas being written up as github issues.

   https://github.com/w3c/sparql-12/issues

with collecting of material on the wiki:

   https://github.com/w3c/sparql-12/wiki

The issues area allows you to get notifications on a specific issue of 
interest, or you can track all activity by enabling notifications on the 
repository itself.  Your github settings also allow further tuning of 
notifications.

This should give you control on how many notifications you get.
