Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] End of line

[Max - M. <ma...@mi...>]

Hi Rob,

All like Kal said, I'm also sorry to see you go.

I wish I could have contributed more on the project last year, but the
company I work for decided to switch to more mainstream technologies
despite my efforts to make RDF our underlying standard (thus the long
silence since my last PR).

DNR is such an awesome library and I can't but admire the work and efforts
you've invested into it since its creation. Thank you thousands of times
for that.

As for Kal's request, of course I feel DNR should continue since it is the
only mature enough available RDF library for the .Net environment and I
would hate to see it become yet another RDF project to go into oblivion and
as much as I do not despair to get back to the semantic side, I do not
unfortunately currently have the time neither the skills and Rob-wise
preciseness to actively work on it.
Anyway, I'd still like to contribute as much as I possibly can so count me
in for any discussion about the project's future,

Cheers and take care,
Max.
