Announcing Simal v0.2-rc1

[Ross Gardler]

We are pleased to announce the release of Simal v0.2-rc1

This release is a complete rewrite of the 0.1 release which was always
intended to be a proof of concept. 0.2 now utilises an RDF repository
ratehr than a flat file system. Consequnetly performance is vastly
improved in this release.

Key features include:

- ability to import DOAP from the local filesystem or a remote URL
- AJAX browsers for finding people or projects
- Fully categorised listings
- export of RDF data models
- RESTful API
