NetBeans and Semantic Wikis
The Kiwi team is meeting at the Prague Sun offices for the next few days to discuss the roadmap of this cutest of all semantic wikis. I completely empathize with Jana Herwig, when she writes:
An IT project is like herding cats, they say - in our case, we’ll be herding kiwis, and if we can enjoy it only half as much as these guys, I’ll be fine:-)
And illustrates it with this video:
I like to think of us developers as being the cats, and the kiwis as the things we want to herd. Tasty :-) That would indeed also explain why I am still in France - herding cats ain't easy.
Why am I still in France and not tasting free beer in Prague? Well, last month's conferences in California has given me a conference overdose, from which I am still recovering. Also I have been speaking so much about the Address Book, that I really need to sit down, roll up my sleeves, and just work on it. I did try to write something on topic yesterday, relating the semantic web and NetBeans - since Prague is the center of NetBeans development. I hope that excuses me somewhat.
A list of on the spot updates to this meeting can be found on kiwi planet.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
