G'day all,
are  there a few of these kind of things that need to be done? There
are a couple i can think of. Maybe it's a really good way of getting
any non-coders to feel like they are giving something back if we we
make a list of these things on the om wiki and then post about it here
and on lad. A simple example from on of the packages that actually has
rdf data should be enough to get someone going on it. If it's useful
for people it's nice to feel that you've done something handy. Random
idea
