Hi Stanbolers, It's almost a year since we joined this wonderful community, yet it feels only yesterday when we started to know your ideas and excitement before even meeting you in flesh and bones. That was Paris when we understood we were on the right track and with the right people. Andy<http://www.iks-project.eu/community/people/andrea-volpini> wrote a nice post remembering our experience in Paris.
We don't accept the status-quo, we share the perception that huge amounts of work have yet to be done in order to evolve our Internet to its primordial state to some valuable source of social interaction, knowledge exchange and human progress. We believe that our sons and grandons one day will use the Web in a way that we can only imagine now, but this is not given for granted. Somebody has to put these efforts, ideas, energies and belief to make this change come true. We truly believe also that this cannot come from one techie super-hero, like those that we've seen on the media lately. And this is what we like too, that each component of this group gives a piece of his/her virtual flesh - and sometimes fights too :) - for a shared objective. We, as InSideOut10 <http://www.insideout.io/>, we want to widespread our efforts here and we want to confront our ideas with the mainstream market, that is why we decided to target WordPress <http://wordpress.org/> with our development efforts, and developed WordLift<http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordlift/> as a front-end for the Stanbol server, in order to reach the widest audience possible and confront with a potentially large number of users. Not satisfied with that, we brought this piece of software into the ecosystem of a large european public utility (Enel <http://www.enel.it/en-GB>), in order to test it on the field, in the enterprise market with a demanding customer. We were pretty satisfied with our first release of the plug-in, which we showcased in Paris, and that we released to the public. Although that was just a starting point and the plug-in development is following Stanbol developments in order to improve, get more mature and usable. We're now looking forward to address both back-end and front-end challenges in our plug-in, shortly: [1] build a front-end navigation pattern that allows the user to effectively browse the contents via the Semantic Entities, and allow for Semantic search. [2] improve the general entities discovery rules, and provide the ability for editors to add complementary information to discovered entities. [3] better the analysis experience by shifting the process to a background asynchronous operation (editors can continue their work while the analysis is getting done). [4] *play around with new Stanbol features :-)* Our plans eventually landed at the IKS UX Contest<http://blog.iks-project.eu/winners-of-the-iks-ux-contest-are/> which gave us a great feedback and an opportunity to dedicate ourselves to this (r)evolution. And, who knows, maybe one day we too will be remembered. Good luck to you all!
