Thread of the Week
On #swig :
<MFen> i love the idea that, if someone wants to create their own monster, they can just publish an n3 somewhere that describes it
<MFen> and then *use it with online tools already written*
<MFen> heck, they can even add a "color" attribute, and publish a document that annotates every existing monster in the universe with a color, should they want to
<MFen> i suppose i'm preaching to the choir
<xi_> uhhuh
<xi_> but monsters are new ground for us
Quote of the Week

Comments
There's a typo above: Chimezie's Fuxi does *not* pass the entire OWL test suite in 1 second. He does pass many OWL tests in about 1.6 seconds, but not all of them -- at least 10 are skipped for various reasons.
If I had to do limited OWL processing (limited to DLP, near as I can tell), I'd definitely do it in Fuxi, but we should be careful about claims re: passing test suites. :>

Thanks Kendall, corrected (my bad, I'd not read the full announcement, only a somewhat misleading summary).
