capjamesg[d] I have been using microformats for about a year and I cannot think of many changes that I think are relevant to applications I use or would want to develop.
#
capjamesg[d] Microformats seems like it covers only the bases that needs covered.
#
capjamesg[d] Before asking about if something is still in development, it's crucial to consider what actually needs done.

@BryanRuth18 Likely candidates are Microformats, and RDFa. (twitter.com/_/status/1441297517627383808)

capjamesg[d] Does microformats have a list of open community tasks that need done (I.e. improving the wiki).
#
[tantek] yeah, we have bunch
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d], start at https://microformats.org/wiki/to-do
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d], as someone relatively new, when you visit the microformats.org home page, what were your impressions, and what things do you think we could improve?

Loqi [@Chris_Perry_61] @t I was just looking at http://microformats.org and realised that the last updates on there seem to be no later than 1st half of 2020. I was just curious what the latest state of play is with the site and microformats generally. Do you happen to know?
#
GWG [tantek]: I think we need to periodically put something up.
#
GWG Maybe at least once a year.
#
GWG Some sort of news.
#
GWG Let's have a Microformats popup session
#
GWG Then we can post about it
#
[tantek] GWG, do we need a dependency like that?
#
GWG No, but...still want one
#
[tantek] There are plenty of changes / updates in the past year, why not directly write about those?
#
[tantek] No need to add an extra step if the goal is "put something up"
#
[tantek] Or rather, adding an extra step like that is a form of procrastination
#
[tantek] (this doesn't mean don't do a pop-up, it means, don't artificially tie the two together)
#
GWG I'm not. I've just wanted one.
#
GWG But, why not a State of Microformats update every 6-12 months?
#
GWG Or a post, Interesting Things X is doing
#
capjamesg[d] Thanks for sharing [tantek]. That is a long list haha 🙂
#
capjamesg[d] I liked the idea about having a form for someone to submit an in the wild example that validates their markup.
#
capjamesg[d] I’ll take a look at the homepage tomorrow!
#
capjamesg[d] I’m not comfortable travelling right now so this sort of thing is a good way to fill up my weekend 🙂
#
capjamesg[d] tantek++ for being welcoming.

Loqi tantek has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (57 in all channels)
