Thanks for the comments. I'd be interested in why RDF is important (ideally, on the OM discussion list :). To me, OM is better than the semantic web (on which I am not an expert), for reasons I try to explain in OM's FAQs.

If we did collaborate, your strength would probably include UI & web work. OneModel's might include its powerful and flexible internal structure and REST api that I am finishing (on the github "wip" branch). Just some t

I like this idea. :) We could even collaborate if interested. For the very same purposes, plus to organize everything else I want to, I wrote and use OneModel (AGPL), creating inside it a calendar with ticklers, lists of gift ideas or ot

My lacking (medium-term?) memory is what motivated me to created this highly efficient personal organizer, which really helps: http://onemodel.org ...though probably not fully for the level of issues described in the article.

How about GPL/AGPL? (for staying free longer-term... :) I have an existing project which could use this help, but is related more to taking human knowledge management to a new level globally, removing some of our current limitations.

There is really no substitute for family, and for coming to know God. The government or this-or-that philosophy will not give our lives purpose and direction. The Mormon missionaries can help. Really.
