Yup! I answered with a comment in your blog just now: "Answering the quesionnaire is mainly for those whose main motivation is seeing the Semantic Web take off, not much beyond that. In my case, I know that I don't have time to create a trust metric module myself, but on the other hand, I know that many is working on it, Chris Prather, Jen Golbeck, Konfidi project, and now I'm being made aware of even more. Thus, it is more about gather people so that people see that we can make something usable than coming up with really novel ideas. Also, the problem is that few people have that much time on their hands, there is thus not that easy to show that a project has merits by running code without commitments from several parties."
