hRelease Update

There was a thread[1] last month about the status of
hRelease outside
of microformats, this should hopefully clear things-up.

hRelease Me
05Jul07
Steffen Nork asked me for an update on hRelease. So here it
is:

hRelease doesn't exist.

There was confusion last summer that something called the
Social Media
Press Release had something to do with extending
microformats to
include specific kinds of markup for press releases. ...

Uh huh.

        Social Media Release Moving Forward Again

        June 20th, 2007 by Chris Heuer

        I just got off the phone with Shannon Whitley from
PRX Builder
        and I am very happy to report that he is taking the
lead in
        moving the technical standard for the Microformat
forward.

        Subject: Bringing Home hRelease

        As Chris announced on SocialMediaRelease.org, I'm
going to be
        helping out with completing the hRelease
recommendation and
        getting the working group going again.

        My plan is to focus on the low-hanging fruit first
and make
        progress on the core elements of hRelease.

        The working group will focus primarily on technical
aspects of
        hRelease.  Don't worry, though, the final
recommendation will
        not be decided by a bunch of gearheads. 
Recommendations will be
        presented to this group for review and discussion.

Interestingly, Brian Oberkirch isn't mentioned on either of
the first
two pages; nor does he appear amongst the recent posters on
the latter
mailing list.

Perhaps someone should tell him?
