I can't assure that it reads all the sioc:Forums, I'll have to test it.

The obvious test is to try it with the another software related with
SIOC and mail lists: an exporter that uses Google Groups's RSS as the
source of information [1]. The source is very poor and it generates a
RDF [2] who uses incompatible SIOC properties, as sioc:modified_at.

I'll have to research how to make more generic SPARQL queries, in order
to prevent these (important) mistakes.

I know it. I'm a newbie in GTK, but I already have plans to change those
components.

The same reason that before: I'm playing with a gtk.ProgressBar [3] to
provide this visual feedback that you tell me.

If you don't have any problem, I prefer to wait a little bit more, until
GSR becomes more stable and generic.
