[Blend-tinker-devel] HyperBorg introduction

Hi Imre, and others following along,

For the record, the ITP is this: https://bugs.debian.org/973795

So... custom data stored in SQL is at the core of your project?

Can I perhaps interest you in using RDF at the core, using the W3C 
recommended model: https://www.w3.org/TR/wot-thing-description/

Sounds exciting.

At your demo website, I can suggest that you link to the Firefox issue, 
so that readers can go check if perhaps things have changed since you 
wrote it (my Firefox does _not_ have that flagged turned off, but fails 
to work anyway).

For the record: Imre and I have hung out on irc and begun the Debian 
packaging: https://salsa.debian.org/tinker-team/hyperborg
