Just my opinion, but I'd say other than knowing C and being familiar
with the GNOME stack there's really no strong requirements here.
Whatever RDF knowledge you might need for this I suppose it shouldn't
be too hard to learn, and certainly the UI can (and will!) be openly
discussed in the list/IRC. What we need is someone with lots of free
time and energy to do the low level work :)

Other than that it's just perfect, thanks for handling this and let's
hope it gets accepted :)
