I will write to the semantic-web list separately but for this list the rule is simple: Calls for participation are not allowed on this list. No exceptions. None. This is in line with other lists maintained by W3C that do not allow such posts. Any future calls for participation posted to this list will be treated as spam""" > > /Jan Ainali > _______________________________________________ > Wikidata mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] >
