SUO: Re: The SUMO is not a Starter Document




Adam,

I am sorry, but I misunderstood your intent.  I was happy to
endorse SUMO as a candidate on the same footing as OpenCyc,
but not as something with higher status than OpenCyc.

I am extremely disappointed that you have posted a statement
that implies SUMO has a more privileged status than OpenCyc.
If I had understood that to be your position, I would never
have voted for motion #1 and I would have insisted that we
have a vote to give OpenCyc the same status.

The last thing I want is more procedural maneuvering, and I
am very disappointed that you have posted a statement that
implies that SUMO has higher status than OpenCyc.

Please remove that statement from the web site ASAP.
Otherwise, I believe that there are two options:

 1. Go through more wrangling with appeals.

 2. Have another vote to clarify the point that
    SUMO and OpenCyc have equal status.
