The Semantic Web list is still there, but no one uses it! Send a message
with body and subject "subscribe" to semantic-web-request@w3.org to
subscribe. Then post to semantic-web@w3.org The lists are at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/
I think I was the last to post here, back at the beginning of October: and
those 4 or so posts were the largest conversation ever conducted there!
Maybe the W3C could provide a sw-talk@w3.org, a bit like www-talk, but for
the Semantic Web.

Don't we all. The great thing is that we, the developers, can make the
Semantic Web happen with no (or little) help from the W3C. However, I would
like to hear *much* more about the subject from Tim Berners-Lee. Maybe he's
leaving it to everyone else on purpose...

All too true.

I'm about to announce a small discussion about Semantic Document
Framework(s). Trouble is, where should one post stuff like that(?): it too
is a mix of theory and implementation...
