[Radiant] Examples for advanced radiant extensions ?

[Martin Olsson]

Hello,
Creating a semantic web extension using active RDF or some sort of  
simple schema such as FOAF would be extremely interesting. Keeping it  
simple, leveraging the simple core and philosophy of Radiant could  
end up being something truly beautiful and useful.

I'm very interested in following your project. Do you intend to share  
your work, and if so do you want help?

Another interesting project would be a DocBook extension - making it  
possible to edit and publish DocBook documents. Any one up for that one?

I am a Radiant and R&R newbie, but I'm a pretty good Java developer,  
and I've worked with RDF and "the semantic web" as well as with  
Microformats and XML standards such as DocBook, Dublin Core, IMS  
Enterprise etc.

I have rather limited time, which is why my Radiant-powered is still  
not up. (Yeah, I finally decided to go with Radiant instead of  
Mephisto.)

Martin Olsson
