I think a "neutral" w3.org namespace would be nice, because our ontology
will be joined work between MIT, Free University and INRIA. A neutral
namespace might also motivate others to join the work. Jeremy, Patrick, Pat
and I did the same for our Named Graphs work declaring it as work of the
Semantic Web Interest Group. See:
http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/
I'm also implying that everything we are doing is public and will be
released under an open source license later, e.g. BSD or something similar.
Anybody objecting?

Don't know. At this stage I think the mailing list with it's public archive
is fine.
Having the schemes in Subversion would be nice.

Yes, for the final versions. But while the drafts are still changing a lot I
think RDF-S is easier to read and edit.

Same with me. That's why my projects are always called D2R, D2RQ, RAP or
NG4J :-)
RDO is boring and sounds like "remote data objects". Let's ask the guy who
came up with "Longwell" ;-)
BTW: I will be on holiday from Saturday till 6th October and won't be able
to read my mails.
