@hootbot Me doing my first Backbone.js app for my job interview in 2013 after being the CSS/a11y/microformats weirdo at a WordPress/custom PHP shop since 2006 (twitter.com/_/status/1320553483901259777)

[tantek] [KevinMarks] yeah that's a tag/category

[Denver_Prophit] What is the equivalent to https://schema.org/contributor
#
Zegnat Don’t think there is one in microformats. I would probably just list multiple author properties.
#
Zegnat Also note that properties in microformats are ever evolving. So if you see a clear use-case for listing people not as authors but with some more specific role, that could be valid too. Definitely start a brainstorm on it!

GWG I commented on something similar in citing media.

[tantek] [Denver_Prophit] 99% of schema-org is made-up stuff without actual consuming code use-cases (it's even clear Google itself does anything with most of it, besides their "validation" tools), so it's not really a reliable source for useful markup
#
[tantek] it can be useful for re-using names of things if we do have specific publishing / consuming code ecosystem use-cases
#
[tantek] that "/" is an *and* not an an *or* to be clear
#
[tantek] yes multiple authors seems reasonable
#
GWG [tantek]: No one consumes multiple authors
#

#
[KevinMarks] The parsers do
#
[tantek] [Denver_Prophit] indeed it's a design issue first. UIs need to have a way of presenting multiple authors that is meaningful before the markup is useful
#
GWG [KevinMarks]: It's just something I've brought up as a challenge. Microformats allows for multiple authors but we're not using it in the wild
#
[KevinMarks] Hm. I notice that microformats specs show author and contributors
#
[KevinMarks] We as indieweb aren't because we mostly post as individuals
#
sknebel it's come up in the context of reply-contexts and citations a bit
#
[tantek] oh? I'll ask further in #indieweb-dev

[Denver_Prophit] ↩️ [KevinMarks] will be doing a technical whitepaper with a few others and no way to attribute within microformats2 that I saw. I could have missed it.
