SUO: Re: Industry takeover




Adam,

Nobody was criticizing the charter.

I was simply observing that you were requiring more
proof and justification for IFF, which has already
been approved as a candidate project, than you were
requiring for SUMO.  I believe that all three projects,
IFF, SUMO, and OpenCyc are worthy candidates.  Since
IFF has already been approved, no further justification
should be necessary.

Your next paragraph makes a good point:

 > You'd like SUMO to collaborate in some way with IFF.

That is a fair question.

Tomorrow, I'll send a suggested outline of how developers
from the three efforts could collaborate, but I would also
like to ask Robert and the other IFF developers to comment
on this point.
