Most Web users will not write code

Hi All --

Pat Hayes wrote, in connection with .htaccess problems

     *....Most Web users do not, and will not, write code*...

So, now we are putting all this great linked data out there, so that it
could be used in an astonishing variety of new and amazing ways, if only
nontechnical users would learn to code?  Which they will not do.

Fortunately, projects such as the Tabulator and the system online at the
site below [1] are starting to point the way towards higher level platforms
on which non-programmers can put linked data to their own uses.

Perhaps a useful extension to TIMBL's recent paper [2] might be a list of
such platforms, and other design approaches?  (Tim does mention the
Tabulator in passing).

                                                       Cheers,  -- Adrian
