Re: Hacker rally questionnaire draft, take 2

Hi, here are some comments re wording (no essential ones, really, I 
think the questions are fine).

maybe "promote *a* Semantic Web" (as suggested on the wiki somewhere),
or "a more semantic Web", or "the benefits of a|the s|Semantic Web".
Just ideas with the basic thought of being as open (tech-wise) as 
possible (working around bad rap hooks).

hmm, what exactly is the decision about in the end? Will SWEO just 
suggest a "winner", or what will be the next steps? Is it a two-phase
process where people 1st make suggestions and can then vote on the
project they'd like to see happen / contribute to? Maybe we should 
add another sentence here?

merge those, perhaps?

Maybe switch the order of these sentence parts or make it sound a bit
less "versus"-ish? "What would be the main benefit of using Semantic Web
technologies to achieve ..." or so. We could also try to combine q4
with this one, à la "What do SemWeb techs add and where do you see
an overlap with other technologies that could be used to accelerate
the adoption of your solution?"


I hope some of those comments make sense ;)
