------------------------------------
{quote}Is there any chance of RDF Delta being included in Fuseki proper? I am
curious to look at it, but if it's only supported by yourself, that seems a bit
risky. Although if Fuseki is only supported by yourself, it's already a risky
choice.

I have no problem with contributing RDF Delta to the Apache project.
The "Apache" name includes the governance of the project - the PMC checks and
votes on releases so that are compliant with Apache principles (e.g. license
issues around included source and binaries from other places, proper process,
responding to security alerts, not deciding to change the license to something
else) - it's more than just the Apache license being an Apache project.
It is also worth comparing with software products. On the surface, it may look
very different but in detail there are similar forces. In a hypothetical
company built around a core piece of software of, say, 50 people, the number on
core software isn't that large. Likely, more on solutions and support than core
engineering. Maybe it's ~5 people on the core. And the corporate memory of the
design is probably in one or two people's heads.
The strength is that the company can resource the core software part to replace
people rather than a open source project (truly open source, not company doing
some open source) who have to hope contributors turn up. The weakness is that
the failure modes are catastrophic; the company can go out of business, or be
bought or change direction and the core software is no more. An open source
project at least leaves the code behind.
It is clear here are people outside the project PMC and committer who
understand the code - we get some reports in detail and contributions to quite
deep inside the code. Not many - but they happen.
