As I mentioned in a recent conversation on #rdfig [1], I'd like to see some of the member private SWAD work- which is valuable and useful - moved to a public forum. Moving the majority of work conducted on the semweb-ad list [2] to a publically readable space would be a good first step. The list could be moderated in a similar way to RDF Core's mailing list - a list which sets a very good precedent in terms of how secluded but public groups are recieved by the community. The RDF Interest community is probably the most receptive to feedback that I have ever come across on the Web, and I think that your casual optimism is well-founded. However, there is always room for improvement somewhere, and the reasons behind your endorsement of conducting work in public quite obviously apply to the SWAD work, IMO.
