It's live pre-alpha software, so it's in constant flux, and quite likely to be slow, partially or totally broken at any given time, but it's good enough to give a flavour of what is intended for a production system. In this case, the underlying user-editable code is Wiki-like-code that is used to generate a n-tuple store in an SQL database, which is then used as a database for searches, and to generate RDF, -- Neil > > >
