I can't seem to find that email. Can you direct me to it?

I'm keen to know more about the new SPARQL endpoint support, as I
think this is very exciting.

Since SMW is now processing SPARQL / RDF internally (I'm guessing),
does this mean that we can (in theory?) query a given endpoint using
#ask? I'm curious if this would require synchronization of the data in
the endpoint (as some docs seem to suggest), or if ad-hock endpoints
can now be queried using #ask.


Thanks for all the great and continuing work on this project!
