RE: organization (was RE: frustration)


existing examples of frustration
Hi Jonathan,

I can give some examples since you like them :-) ...

This kind of organization would be|have been most usefull for RSS, for
the definition of a wiki markup language, for TransQuery, for
examplotron to name a few examples in which I have been involved.

I don't think so in the above examples.

No, these are not major specs and I am naive enough to think that open
source developers and even big companies might use these specs if they
find them usefull.

These are good questions and I think that to be usefull such an
organization should fill a need which is not yet fulfilled by other
organizations.
