Ontolog community,    (01)

Peter Yim recently posted a message from Mark 
Musen, where Mark asked for letters of support 
for the renewal of the grants supporting the 
Protégé system (see 
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2006-03/msg00032.html).    (02)

This topic was raised at Ontolog's regular 
planning sessions.  The consensus of those 
present was that Ontolog should draft a letter of 
support.  Towards that end, we'd like to try 
using the mailing list to brainstorm ideas and 
draft language for the letter.    (03)

Please reply to this message by Wednesday 
(2006.04.19) with any ideas and thoughts that you 
might have in support of Mark's efforts.  Mark 
provides a list of specific topics and questions in his posting.    (04)

Brief snippets of content are also welcome.  For example:    (05)

     "Protege is now tremendously effective 
across many domains . It  provides useful
     and useable tools which make ontology 
real.  I've had several doctoral candidates
     who's dissertations were basically leveraged 
by Protégé's ability to represent
     their key topics.  Protege has become an 
essential element in our research
     infrastructure and is rapidly becoming one 
in business as well.  If Protégé and
     its staff were to go away, there would be 
great difficulties in making forward
     progress in many, many domains."    (06)

An editorial team will consolidate the 
community's input and draft Ontolog's formal 
response to Mark, who can forward it with others 
received to The United States National Library of 
Medicine.  Needless to say, if anyone wants to 
participate in the actual drafting of the letter, 
your assistance would be greatly appreciated.    (07)

Also, as submissions on letterhead would be 
preferred, kudos would be given to anyone who 
would take it upon themselves to come up with a 
letterhead design for Ontolog.    (08)
