Tim Finin had just given his ittalks
presentation in the [http://www.semanticweb.org/SWWS/program/index.html Aug 2001 SWWS program at Stanford]
and he said they'd adopted this slogan
to describe getting '''something''' done,
even if it wasn't clearly the right thing.

The traditional phrase is "the perfect is the enemy of the good"
along with "release early, release often".

So get started; if you hit a problem, maybe look around here
for solutions. But if you don't find one, consider doing
something anyway. Maybe you'll learn something you can
then share with the rest of us. Or maybe you'll inspire
somebody else who'se stuck.

''You're not the only one that made 
mistakes / But they're the only things that you can truly call your own'' -- Billy Joel.

This was a late night Perl scripting hack-job last week, but I'm pleased with what it does, though not how I did it. ''
