I don't know. Looking at the last month of posts, aside from the discussion
of OpenCyc, it's mostly been obscure arguments by myself, Sowa, Awbrey,
Menzel, and Delatre. Whatever is happening, it certainly doesn't seem to be
focused on concrete issues relating to existing proposals (as Adam pointed
out) or on the discussion (modulo OpenCyc) of new proposals.
If you compare what's going on lately to six months or even a year ago, when
there were vigorous discussions of philosophical, logical, and architectural
issues, the list certainly does seem like a ghost town.
I'm kind of interested in why this is...
