tantek I suppose since we have zero h-entry issues on the wiki it makes sense to create a repo for those issues

tantek new h-entry change control section: http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry#change_control documenting existing practices for how we've been adding and promoting h-entry properties, and a catchall to use mf2-parsing style change control if we actually ever have any substantial non-trivial issues
#
tantek please review. there should be no surprises there so definitely speak up if you see anything amiss!
#
tantek as always, minor edits/improvements welcome, even with just a heads-up here

elux are microformats still a thing? .. or has json-ld taken the charge?
#
tantek elux microformats are growing in adoption
#
elux thats great to hear. i did like them when i saw
#
tantek in particular microformats2, because they are still simpler and "just" HTML
#
tantek parsers now in nearly every programming language
#
elux whats their benefit tho...? ie. does it help Google?
#
tantek the peer to peer #indieweb is built with microformats, and yes, Google and other search engines support a few classic microformats as well
#
tantek elux, do you have your own website?
#
elux many
#
tantek cool - you may want to check out #indieweb as well then for how to do that
#
elux to be honest, a big benefit for me would be if i could use microformats to make my content more discoverable by traditional channels
#
tantek yes we do that via an #indieweb technique called POSSE
#
tantek see: indieweb.org/POSSE
#
tantek if you publish your own content with microformats, then you can use various services like Brid.gy for distribution to traditional social media channels
