[Global Notice] Hi all, it would appear one of our sponsors are having some issues with their connectivity. As a result we've lost one of our client (leaf) servers along with services. We hope to have things back to normal asap.

timbl, was wondering whether the DIG should be part of the Social Web XG?

People can join groups, not group sjoin groups
20:44:43 [kennyluck]
oshani has a W3C account :)
20:47:38 [oshani]
kennyluck, yeah I have a W3C member login. But I don't think it's necessary to join the group
20:52:19 [oshani]
timbl, however under "Initiating Members" only organizations are listed... Perhaps because it's _initiating_ (special kind of membership)
21:01:17 [timbl]
Theer "members" means "members of w3c" not "members of the group". So MIT is a member of W3C
21:02:22 [timbl]
The initiation of a group is part of the process (ought to be described in n3 :) in which you need a certian number of W3C Member Orgs to say yes
21:03:09 [oshani]
okay i see
21:03:09 [kennyluck]
I think we should setup a updatable wiki for W3C
21:03:35 [kennyluck]
there are lots of valuable information in ESW wiki that ought to be converted into RDF
21:03:57 [oshani]
use semantic media wiki perhaps?
21:04:09 [kennyluck]
No I don't prefer that.
21:04:22 [kennyluck]
I think our RDF wiki is just fine :)
21:04:43 [kennyluck]
Semantic Wiki is not very decentralized at the moment, I think.
21:06:38 [kennyluck]
I thought of creating a URI for swig as a foaf:Group

I think it's better than saying you are interested in http://dbpedia.org/resource/Semantic_Web
21:11:25 [kennyluck]
"@@" has become quite popular recently :)
21:16:08 [oshani]
kennyluck, why do you say so? re:@@
21:16:36 [kennyluck]
Huh?
21:16:56 [kennyluck]
Oh..
21:17:15 [kennyluck]
I think @@ is a notation invented by Tim
21:18:01 [kennyluck]
meaning "TODO" or maybe it's just a well accepted convention?
21:21:06 [RalphS]
I learned @@ from DanC a long time ago. Most plausible derivation I've been told (not by DanC) was that it appears to be two eyeballs; "take another look here"
21:21:30 [RalphS]
but yeah, Kenny; basicall "TODO"
21:21:34 [RalphS]
basically
21:21:43 [RalphS]
RalphS has quit ("bye for today")
21:23:53 [kennyluck]
I couldn't find any match for "@@" from google. Any suggestion?
21:28:00 [timbl]
I think i have used @@ just as a character which deosn't appear in a normal file so you can search for it -- but I don't remember when i started doing it

DanC told me he invented @@ when he was writing some code and got a phone call and wanted to mark the spot in the file with something that definitely would not compile.

via danc
22:53:34 [oshani]
Java annotations use the "@" sign (just one), and that has a syntactical significance in the language
22:55:02 [danbri]
i dimly remember something like '@@' was to screw things up so the prog didn't compile without further attention ...
