Here's a leak from behind the iron curtain: don't imagine that
everything of interest is happening there. The w3c-ql list, for
example, had a flurry of interest after the QL'98 meeting
then pretty much dried up since february/march. You're not missing much
there... XML-DEV has been far more interesting on the query front in
last few months. And rdf-mozilla... (again, public).
A lot of the XML folks with W3C-access, for example, make a habit of
talking on XML-DEV instead of the Member-only lists. Of course plenty
goes on behind /Member/ but (when you don't have access!) it's easy to
convince yourself you're missing more than you actually are.
