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. Dan xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
