Something we're keen to try and do is improve the way
microformats —
and especially progress on microformats — is communicated
outside of
the microformats community. I had a brief shot of it a
little over a
year ago with the ‘This Week in Microformats’ posts to the
blog.
The reason they died out is because they tended to require
long
editing stints to produce something of the quality I wanted.
A few
weeks of being too busy and the idea collapsed. We're going
to bring
the weekly posts back, but rather than it being my own
little
initiative it's now properly integrated into our community
tools.
Each week a new Wiki page will be created to live-edit the
‘This
Week…’ post, and everyone is invited to contribute to it.
The
headings are set out, so it should be intuitive to
contribute items.
We're going to follow the same tone and format as the
original posts,
and post them every Sunday evening (GMT, most likely), so
it's there
and fresh for Monday morning. If you can write with the same
voice
that will make editing much easier, but either way it should
make it
all much easier to compile.
The live draft for this week's post is on the wiki now:
