I can't forsee restoring it in the near future unless there's some rewriting of the FOAF specs to include some kind of authentication for the requesting party. $item.owner.firstName 2008-05-07T20:20:26Z Re: Tribe may be changing the FOAF settings due to harvesting by ex.plod.us Steve http://foaf.tribe.net/thread/a888c0b1-f547-4055-b476-43455005a58a#a924a52e-6ce5-4f19-aea5-e9a2483a7deb 2008-05-06T05:50:21Z 2008-05-06T05:50:21Z Thanks Timbo.

This is because a web company has been harvesting tribe members network information (their tribe friends data), along with birthdays, etc from tribe using FOAF. Follow this thread and the developing story and technical ramifications on tribe...if it interests you... Regards, Timbo Timbozo 2008-03-01T00:18:06Z
