Hi Yaron, I agree with you. I got the impression that it is very much a prototypic project. They seem to work under a tight schedule themselves - else they could hardly call it _Summer_ of Code. So, yes, I think the point is to make a sufficiently convincing case. Maybe it would help if one of the tasks would be to implement a showcase. E.g. there is SNPedia. Why not have something similar for celestial objects (stars, planets, comets, ...). It would certainly help to find out where and how SMW is used in NASA. (Btw, SMW is also used at ESA already, although to such a small extent that only two people really know about it, so it probably does not count. :) )

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2d-c2 _______________________________________________ Semediawiki-devel mailing list Semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-devel
