Helping out with the 3.0 release

This is in response to #489 - I'm just moving the thread to a discussion because it is more of an open question than a specific bug/issue.

Hi @lambdakris

There are a couple of things that would be good for helping out with the 3.0 release.

• Ensure build and tests run under linux #472 might be worth looking at if you have a linux/macos setup - I think most of the issues left to fix there are places where directory paths are hardcoded with a \ instead of using Path.Separator
• Not on a ticket yet, but something I've been thinking about is creating a set of small sample projects that illustrate the basics of loading data, running SPARQL queries in memory and writing data. Taking a look at the old 2.x docs (e.g. in the wiki) should give you an idea of the kinds of things we show sample code for, and it would be good to build those snippets out into really basic examples.

The other main "blocker" for a 3.0 release is that I would like to add some ASP.NET core helpers for using dotNetRDF to set up a SPARQL endpoint. However to be really useful there probably needs to be quite a lot of configurability and there are lots of gotchas in handling the protocol standards correctly so this is probably too big a task to be a good starter one.

Cheers
