Ultimately I'd like to avoid proliferation, but in order to minimize
impact on other people's things, I've started this webid.debian.net POC
on a separate host.

I'll try and have a look at the portfolio again, and hopefully, we may
be able to merge in the future and on a debian.org host.

I'm just afraid of the lack of coordination / fragmentation of efforts,
but we'll try and work on this issue, I'm sure ;)

In the meantime, thanks.

Well... I was inspired by the foaf:mbox_sha1sum attribute... I'm not
sure it's worth publicizing too much people's mails for non Debian
project members : they may be mor evolatile than the debian
logins... but that could be changed, for instance using the %40
character...

I'll give it a bit more thought, but any opinions welcome, of course.


You may note that I have evolved a bit the generated FOAF documents to
separate the Agent/Person from the OnlineAccount they use to contribute
to Debian (this may help tracking a same person's contributions made under
different emails, for instance as a hobby or professionally).


My 2 next actions will be :
- replacing the blank nodes for the package maintainers in the RDF
  pages of the PTS by these new
  <http://webid.d.n/maintainers/ID#account> URIs
- automating the generation through cron a cron script (for the moment
  it has been statically generated and scp-ed to the site ;)
