Wait a sec. I don't feel I have that level of knowledge. And this is a
public list. Yet I have a WebID integrated into my site
(http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/contact/#me), allow WebID logins on my
site and made a very simple PHP-based WebID generator
(http://webid.coreymwamba.co.uk/creator). It might look like very
small work, but it's out there now and - as a low level technical
person - I am using this technology. I'm not an onotologist by
training, but I'm using and am interested in the technology. Should I
be on this list or not?
