yukinu[m] Is the microformats wiki still updated?
#
aaronpk yes
#
yukinu[m] Is there a process for proposing new microformats? I wrote a basic specification for a microformat to describe webrings, as far as I can tell there isn't an existing format that can be used to describe webrings but may be overlooking one when looking through the wiki
#
[tantek] see microformats.org/process to start
#
[tantek] er, microformats.org/wiki/process

omz13 If I have a set of h-entry objects I can collect them into a h-feed object. Nice. But what if I have a set of h-<whatever> objects... is there a generic collector (h-collection? h-group? h-items?) that they can be collected into (I couldn't see anything obvious in the mf specs).
#
sknebel people do use h-feeds for other things too
#
[KevinMarks] what h-feed gives beyond just a list of entries is some information about the feed as a whole - eg author, name, summary etc - that works if it contains other than entries too, eg a collection of recipes.
#
omz13 h-feed is all very nice, but the set of items I want to gather does very much not include a list of entries... it is a list of objects (all same kind), with perhaps some meta about the list itself.
#
[KevinMarks] without a container you get a list from mf2 parsing by default, so only add a container if there is information added. The parser will do it whatever h-xxx you use. If you want interop with a feed reader use feed, if you are only using it yourself you can do something more arbitrary

#
[tantek] I believe social readers handle composite h-feeds of at least h-entry and h-event objects so it's definitely possible and at least somewhat supported

GWG [tantek]: Did we ever finish the conversation about amending the draft spec to be clearer about allowing it?
#
[tantek] GWG, is there a GH issue on it?
