Its up to you. (01)
If you want to make a whole new set of pages with just a link from the
page that the ontology forum gave us, go ahead. (02)
There is all kinds of stuff on the opening page and it is a wiki; Change
it if you want, add to, reword what I put up if you think the tone is
too negative. I am not sure that I discussed your ideas but if I did,
add a link to your pages with a note to counter what I wrote. (03)
The wiki does not belong to me any more than it belongs to you
.
If I wanted to do something that was just for me to edit, I would put it
on one of my blogs. (04)
I am not promising that I will be convinced in the end that your idea is
practical but I encourage you and anyone else here who wants to work on
it, to do so. I respect your persistence and your willingness to put the
effort into explaining your idea and adding details to it.. (05)
My staff will admit without too much prodding, that I am not always
right. I am aware of the possibility so I do not try to suppress ideas
to early in their life but I do not hesitate to point out objections
that must be dealt with. (06)
My view of your proposal is that one of 3 things will happen.
1) It will die as the details get discussed.
2) It will find funding as the project gains shape and acquires a following
3) It will morph into something that a number of people can support and
work together on to get funding. (07)
I do not know if there is a better wiki for working on this idea but if
there is, put a link on the ontology wiki to direct us to it. (08)
