The Charter is looking good!

One thing I'd like to propose is the addition of the third item here:

   * A conceptual model of a log entry.
   * A concrete syntax for this model.
   * An  RDF/OWL representation of this model
   * A syndication format using this syntax.
   * An archiving format using this syntax.
   * A weblog editing protocol using this syntax (the Atom API).

I'd suggest the deliverables would be an OWL ontology/RDF schema together with an XSLT stylesheet for an Atom => RDF/XML representation.

I totally oppose adding this to the deliverables of the existing project. To start with, the experience here is overwhelmingly around blogging and aggregating, so we are poorly qualified to judge the quality, correctness, or usefulness of OWL/RDF deliverables. If you want to do this I can see no problem with doing it, but I don't think you're going to get a good result here, and I don't think Atom needs it, and I don't want it slowing us down, which it will. -Tim
