Bill,

I'm not expecting you or anybody else to buy WebKB without
kicking the tires, reading the brochures, seeing it in action,
taking a test drive, and studying the Comsumer Reports tests.

Yes, we're on the same page here.  I think that SourcForge is a
good place to put the software developed for the SUO and SCL
projects.  If and when we have something substantial to post,
we should get a SourceForge directory for the SUO.

Meanwhile, one way to start is to propose MSO and WebKB as
SUO sarter documents.  They are as well qualified to be there
as IFF, SUMO, and OpenCyc.  Then we can discuss the issues
on SUO list, have people try them out, get Philippe to add
SUMO and OpenCyc to his original mix (KR, WordNet, and Dolce),
and see how things turn out.

I think that this approach is a lot more promising than the
three years of debates that have been going on.

John
