Hi All,Firstly, apologies, I am resending an email I have sent to the swig mailing list.Following on from the news that the English Wikipedia is going dark in opposition to the SOPA/PIPA tomorrow (2012-01-18) given the activity in the US [1], I wonder whether we as the Semantic Web Community feel like we should turn around and turn off dbpedia? What do people think? Wouldn't that be a nice show of support to Wikipedia, dbpedia's parent project, I think so ...Obviously dbpedia doesn't have nearly as many users as Wikipedia, but personally I feel it would be a nice show of support, to what is a massive move from wikipedia. Poor students, what will they do tomorrow!Thoughts people? Mischa[1] https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/English_Wikipedia_to_go_dark
Interesting idea. It will actually show how extensive DBpedia's use actually is. From the logs, we know its far more than many assume :-)
