Just wanted to let you know briefly about our Semantic MediaWiki
project -- the Wikibase (at http://busytonight.com/wiki), a
collaborative online city guide covering places and event venues.
This week, we're polishing the logic and layout for the New York City
pages (http://busytonight.com/wiki/New_York_City).

We have a core team of five people actively working on the project at
the moment, and are eager to get feedback, participation, and outside
involvement.  The Wikibase is sponsored by my company (Team Gigabyte,
the developers of the algorithmic event crawler at
http://BusyTonight.com), but it's an open project.

We're using SMW as the foundation of our geographic hierarchy, and
also throughout the system for other kinds of semantic relationships
and page tagging.  I've been very pleased with it.  We have a variety
of extensions and enhancements underway which will eventually be
released back to the community, and we'll probably package up the
geographic functions too (once we've optimized them for speed) so that
others can use them.

Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have comments, or just
jump in and participate!  Note that the entire site is under active
development this week, so you may experience the occasional blip.

Best regards,
Rich Mintz
