Could you stop constantly spreading your FUD already? Your |
| 17 |
hyperbole-laden, neverending rants on our lists are getting really old |
| 18 |
by now. |

On the topic: I have multiple times said that when people know what data |
| 21 |
they need out of anything listed in the Wiki, they will get it in a |
| 22 |
format that suits them. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Right now, we already have an open, non-proprietary, XML-based RDF graph |
| 25 |
that you can query for any machine-readable information. I understand |
| 26 |
that not every consumer of our data wants to parse this, so I'll say |
| 27 |
this again just for you: If you provide me with a use case and at least |
| 28 |
a sketch of the required data structure, you can get near-instantly |
| 29 |
updated data in pretty much any serialization format you need. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Until you know what you really want, though, I'll leave you to painting |
| 32 |
the bikeshed. |

Much love, |

PS: I'll gladly fix packages.gentoo.org (in the one version that will stay) |
