Anyone interested in applying for this? Could be interesting to express Facebook data as ORE aggregations, perhaps interoperating with a more typical repository environment?

I would think about it if Facebook has changed their policy of "Sure,
you guys can have access for anything, that's what the API is for...
(Their plugin *exports*? Kill them)"

I was shut down very early on, when talking to them to try to hook in
and provide FOAF and photo backups. I wasn't going to put photos
anywhere that I couldn't easily get them back from.
