Hi Reto :) want to drive? i could even sponsor you somehow (we
should be able tofind a way) you get fame, money and all
Sounds good :) I would be happy to share (the fame), who's with me
for something like this:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ZhuguProposal
If the SparqlEd code (or relevant parts of it) can be donated as
described I would like to broaden the discussion with the Stanbol,
Jena and Clerezza communities.
Cheers, Reto
Reto,
Good to get things started here. I personally think that progress is
made with concrete steps, not big plans and having text is a concrete start.
This proposal combines two things if I read it right - I'm not sure
linking them is the best approach.
One strand is a home for sparQLed codebase (at least the browser-side
editor part, unclear about the analysis engine part). The issue I see
is that it is based, in part, on another open source project "Flint".
It may look like a fork, a derived work, or something else. The Flint
community may even be willing to make an ASF grant - I don't know them.
The other strand is a consolidation of other open source and packaging
with maven. I'd describe this part of Zhugu as a collection libraries,
not frame it as an application because "application" to me is something
an end user can use.
It is certainly useful to provide a consistent, tested cut of javascript
libraries so developers get a collection that works together - but I
wouldn't want to downplay the amount of work this needs to be complete
because of needing the transitive closure effect e.g rdfquery (last
released 2009), depends on jQuery and jQuery isn't in maven.
Is that assessment about right?
Andy
