Re: ANN: Sparallax! - Browse sets of things together (now those on your SPARQL endpoint)

Hi Danny,

i liked sparallax a lot, problem is its hard to maintain. David didnt
upgrade parallax any longer and the intern who did the "sparql to MQL"
conversion that allows sparallax to operate on sparql is now not
working with us anymore. Hard to say how difficult it would be to
progress on that project

On the other hand in terms of browser i am going to be sponsoring
development of TFacets , which is pretty good IMO, so we might be
releasing a new version in a few months together with the original
developer of course. What do you think of that?
