[Nepomuk] Re: [Xesam] Websites that need updating

[Sebastian Trüg]

Hi Robin,

please have a look at my latest blog entry[1] in which I am trying to
find someone to help with these problems.
We simply have not enough people putting work into Nepomuk to maintain
it all.
I would gladly accept any help from you on that matter. :)

Cheers,
Sebastian
