On the subject of Freebase and similar tools for semantic wikis: you could be forgiven for not knowing about it, since it was only released 3 days before your podcast, but my <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms" rel="nofollow">Semantic Forms</a> MediaWiki extension allows for form-based editing, similar to the concept of Freebase, for Semantic MediaWiki data. All the promise of semantic tagging, but with a user-friendly interface. It's currently running only on my site, <a href="http://discoursedb.org" rel="nofollow">Discourse DB</a>, but I believe it's coming to some other sites soon. What’s up,

Very entertaining podcast. On the subject of Freebase and similar tools for semantic wikis: you could be forgiven for not knowing about it, since it was only released 3 days before your podcast, but my Semantic Forms MediaWiki extension allows for form-based editing, similar to the concept of Freebase, for Semantic MediaWiki data. All the promise of semantic tagging, but with a user-friendly interface. It’s currently running only on my site, Discourse DB, but I believe it’s coming to some other sites soon.

Maybe sometimes people will nominate it like that, but that doesn't mean it will be deleted. I like to hear if something is deleted with only with only the reason; 'not being Dutch'.
