Fixing 7.x build and beyond in July

[Nicholas Car]

Dear RDFLib mailing list,

Development of RDFLib is currently stalled with multiple PRs failing validation in our auto-build system. This is probably due to configuration issues more than pure invalid code contributions.

Starting on the 1st of July, several RDFLib developers will be looking in to fixing this, and the following things:

* ensuring that builds continue without issue

* merging some long-standing PRs

* improving RDFLib JSON(-LD) handling

* addressing the Dataset/Conjunctive Graph duplication

* removal of some old dependencies

* RDFLib documentation

* producing at least an RDFLIB 7.1.0 release

If you would like to be involved in a July "sprint" on these issues, please let us know via this mailing list.

Also, if any existing members have insight into the current build issues - perhaps you helped set up the current build systems - please do make comment here.

Thanks, Nick

RDFLib maintainer
