For whatever it may be worth, I agree with what you're saying here. Even if there's no applicable authority, we can still improve the situation a lot, and I don't think it will be very difficult to do it. I suggest we propose a message that will be shown to people who arrive at the website. This message can be extremely simple. If anyone objects to anything in it, change it until nobody objects to it, and then submit it to the current webmaster (somebody at OASIS, right?) over the signatures of the owner, the technical host, and the editor. Once that's done, and if we have done it right, we can forget about it. Let me be more specific. Basically, I think what we need to do is to insert an on-arrival page at www.topicmaps.org that says, "Everything's still here, unchanged since Moses descended from Sinai, but you might want to look in the following places for the following things instead, since the materials at this site are becoming increasingly obsolescent as the ISO and OASIS processes move forward. [insert a list of links here] Click *here* to enter this site anyway." Does that make sense? -- Steve Steven R.
