Re: less pet project promos? was: Re: What is the SIOC-o-sphere?

I think to be as knowledgeable as possible, the SWEO IG should be aware 
of what's out there already, and if that means a separate area (to avoid 
any accusations of unfair promotion) for talking about what pet projects 
people are involved in (or a set of wiki pages), then that should 
probably be done.  If we have to be able to show specific existing 
demonstrators for outreach - they will be industry or academic projects 
- then some linking to / mentioning of them is necessary (but should 
certainly be limited on the public mailing list).

The purpose of this thread really was to illustrate how we could explain 
SW benefits to others outside this group (with the example of how SIOC 
is already attempting to enhance Web 2.0 areas such as the 
blogosphere).  It'd be great to have more demonstrators as you 
mentioned, even though you may prefer not to use SIOC.

I'll be quiet now, I'm not even officially a member representative of 
the IG!

Happy Christmas everyone...
