task force information gathering: what do we want?

Reading the current discussion on what vocabulary to use to gather data,
I see that people have some goals and motivations behind their arguments,
but the discussion is only on a technical level, not on a motivational 
level.

what do you want?

Leo Sauermann:
I want to stick to the timeline posted on [1].
I want to have a working way of gathering information items and display 
them on a
portal website, giving good lists of "recommended tutorials to read when 
you start
learning inference".

To put it to a sarcastic point: All these discussions about 
SIOC/SKOS/FOAF/.... stop us from teaching people
about the semantic web. We don't need SIOC, SKOS, FOAF, etc to do that,
we could even use an RDF:Bag of RDF:resource with rdfs:label, rdfs:comment
and rdfs:seeAlso links to websites -  thats perfectly enough to gather 
information.
We are the Semantic Web Education and Outreach interest group,
not the "We define a perfect vocabulary for gathering information W3C 
technical group".
We should gather good tutorials, ask people to write introductionary 
material on the
semantic web and THEN provide this teaching material in some kind of RSS 
feed.

I also put this statement on [1], for reference.

Please answer what you want,
and if the wiki pages [1] and [2], [3] don't reflect your needs,
edit them freely (I see the history of the wiki pages)

A gentle reminder:
We can go on forever discussing if DC is better than Bibtex,
but we start implementing the inofmration crawler on 1 March 2007 and 
the task force should be closed
by 1st May 2007. So we should have started already implementing and are 
a bit late.

cheers
Leo
