Hi Stefano, RDFLib has had a series of volunteer developers since 2002 (!)
The last few years it's mainly been myself and Jörn Hees who make releases, but we've both had increasingly little time. (Jörn finishing his PhD, me working on things not related to RDF). Roadmap is a big word, and I don't think I would say we have anything like it :), but if I had some time I would try get the following done: * a real interface for triple sinks and support for streaming parsers: https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/pull/411 * move a bunch of things out of rdflib-core - like microdata/rdfa parsers (already weirdly copied in their own repos) * remove SPARQLWrapper dependency: https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/pull/744 It's not very likely to happen very soon from my side though. Jörn should chime in himself, but I think we'd both be happy to have someone else come in and take more responsibility - if you want to help code-review PRs, discuss future changes, make releases etc. I would only be glad to see RDFLib be more alive! - Gunnar On 27 April 2018 at 04:55, Stefano Cossu <sco...@artic.edu> wrote: > I am not sure if there is a "non-dev" group for RDFLib but I might as well > start asking here. > > I find RDFLib to be an amazing project and the only RDF libray for Python > (if we don't count the Redland Python bindings).
