Category talk:Microformats

Just discovering via Chris Messina some potential uses of "declarative" Microformats on wikis and any other web platforms. FYI, the BarCamp-wiki currently uses them. You know perhaps I'm not a programmer, but I'm still questioning on the way to integrate theses future wiki-formats for the wikiindex-StructuredData project ? Sorry for this newbie question. Perhaps this question has been asked elsewhere ? Currently thinking to this "hreview" attribute and the uses in the future wikis. -- ChristopheDucamp 06:37, 15 June 2006 (EDT)

Hi Christophe, most people that are here are not currently programmers either, so no worries. I barely understand Microformats. We discussed them while WikiVanning to WikiSym, but that was a while ago and in the midst of a lot of incoming data. I think it is a great conversation to start/continue/flush out. MarkDilley

Christophe, I briefly went to find what you are talking about at the BarCamp wiki, but didn't get there. Can you give a link. Thanks, MarkDilley

I have no idea what any of this is. TedErnst | talk 12:48, 15 June 2006 (EDT)

Bonjour Mark et Ted. Just a link on our last [barcamp in paris]. If you have ms-windows you could test this firefox-plugin tails export which is useful to show some "hcalendars-format" on the wiki, in human terms it will show you others events in the world. I'm not sure but I think we could bridge some "tags/categories" with microformats. Currently thinking about the creation of a [world wine wiki] index, I discovered we could create any formats like this wine-format written for wine review : http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2006/06/10/wineformats.html. So my suggestion here would be just to talk about the future of pairing wikireview and microformats ? -- Christophe Ducamp | talk05:12, 16 June 2006 (EDT)

more please, still

Christophe, I still need help in understanding the implications here. I think I sorta get it. MarkDilley

Gregoire just edited the omidyar.net page for the Chicago conference to link to a microformat for ical. I can't say I understand what this means, but check it out: http://www.omidyar.net/group/conference/ws/Chicago06/ TedErnst | talk 09:27, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Gregoire has also opened a discussion at omidyar.net about microformats: http://www.omidyar.net/group/issues-tech/news/104/ TedErnst | talk 12:03, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Bonjour. Gregoire is very nice french guy just arriving on FractalWiki:FR/Microformats (where I'm currently testing wiki-hCard and hCalendar... not very clean I know because it's just html-dropping). My feeling is that microformats in wiki could be huge. "WikiIndex could become a name-space reference to quote wikis on the web as you can use "rel-tag" and mention wikipedia". People identity could be automocally hcarded via the nice forms you've installed. My suggestion would be - if you have a bit of time - to talk directly to ChrisMessina/and or TantekCeliki which are currently activist on these "code fragments". Afaik they don't feel very satisfied of Mediawiki. The easy way to reach them is pehraps the #microformats channel on freenode ? You know i'm completely illiterate in code-programming, but would be happy if we could imagine a way to automatically migrate StructuredData in standards Microformats. Let's say I'm still enthusiast to continue this exploration. Regards. --- Christophe Ducamp | talk 11:43, 29 June 2006 (EDT)
