Sorry, I missed that last phrase-- I wouldn't support a ban for that kind of reason. I take "enforcement" simply to mean that after the same question is asked several times with good answers ignored, the question can legitimately be ignored. I don't see anything wrong with that. > I was not pointing out that projects go through phases. > I was pointing out that Jena has been in mature use, including by students on > course projects, for many years.

In other words, creating more resources for beginners is good for Jena no matter whether you think this mailing list question is serious or not. --- A. Soroka The University of Virginia Library
