DanC: should we encourage use of pasteboards here in #swig? how about a pointer from the scratchpad ?
DanC: #php pastebin
DanC: sourceforge pastebin
timbl: Should the archive function of the Scratchpad also server to archive pasteboards? Should it offer its own pasteboard service? How long till mean people find out about pasteboards and abuse them?
dajobe: they already do. most pastebins expire content as far as I know
 
chimezie: Discussion is ongoing with the goal to finalize the specification (which is quite old) and take advantage of lessons learned from it's contemporary languages / syntaxes
chimezie: Also, (hopefully) take advantages of feedback from use in production environment
chimezie: For instance: I'll be contributing my lessons learned as the Cleveland Clinica Foundation's Cardiothoracic Surgery Department continues it's evaluation of SPARQL, Versa, and other query languages in the hope to adopt one or either in our upcoming conversion of a rather old (but incredibly voluminous) Cardiovascular Information Registry (in a RDBMS) to an RDF/XML datastore.
chimezie: So, the timing is appropriate (for me specifically and RDF querying in general)
 
jeen: "The basic goal of this project [...] is to implement the query language independent of the server implementation"
