briansuda, very well done indeed. I like how it reads as an actual in-person proper interview, instead of the boring fixed question probably sent by e-mail format that's so common these days.
- [15:51:42] <briansuda>
thanks JMulder - i was worried i wrote too much in each answer
- [15:53:19] <monkinetic>
briansuda: i thought it was well done as well, though I'm interested to know what "designed for humans first" means in the first bit you quoted.
- [15:53:23] <JMulder>
Nah. Personally I like suck longer answers and I think they'll only be a good thing for people who are unfamiliar with the concept of Microformats. Especially seasoned developers will probably have 100 questions popping up in their head when they read articles or interviews.

(i know that's from mf.org)
- [15:54:54] <monkinetic>
i mean, i'm pretty familiar with the whole microformats thing, but i had not seen that quote before and I find it interesting, as (so far at least) users still need software to discover/parse the data
- [15:55:26] <briansuda>
i hope it helps others to learn something and/or excite them

monkinetic, the way I understand it is that it is the publishers that will likely need to continiously use the formats. If you make it easy for them to remember and use it, they'll be more likely to use it elsewhere and spread the word. Software authors only need to follow the specs, no matter how easy the format is. Correct me if I am wrong >_>
- [15:59:29] <monkinetic>
so are the "humans" in question the publishers?
- [15:59:42] <monkinetic>
rather than the readers/consumers?
- [16:00:16] <JMulder>
That's the way I understand it, yes.
- [16:01:06] <briansuda>
yes, we want to make it as easy to publish as possible
- [16:01:23] <JMulder>
If done right, a reader/consumer shouldn't be aware of the underlying format, I would think?
- [16:01:26] <briansuda>
there will be MILLIONS of publishers, but very few folks who write the parsers
- [16:01:27] <monkinetic>
sure
- [16:01:56] <monkinetic>
well, and evern fewer who write the generators
- [16:02:22] <monkinetic>
(meaning the publishing software/groupware - wordpress/blogger/drupal/etc)
- [16:02:26] <JMulder>
And ultimately, the publishers shouldn't need to be aware of the underlying format either? :p
- [16:02:54] <monkinetic>
is there a section on mf.org focused on evangelizing to the platform vendors?
- [16:03:03] <monkinetic>
JMulder: right
- [16:03:52] <briansuda>
there is an evangelization section on the wiki, i think it is advocacy

- [16:55:28] <tantek>
hey mkaply - saw your feedback about object include-pattern
- [16:55:49] <tantek>
i'm not sure you understood how the include-pattern is supposed to be processed
- [16:56:00] <tantek>
you don't check it per property
- [16:56:09] <mkaply>
tantek: actually, I did figure it out finally
- [16:56:10] <tantek>
you simply perform all the inclusions *first*
- [16:56:12] <tantek>
oh
- [16:56:37] <mkaply>
tantek: What I do in code is I go through every object and I clone the corresponding node and insert it into the vcard with the object
- [16:56:53] <mkaply>
as in replace the object with the cloned node - was that moer the intent?
- [16:56:56] <tantek>
that's right
- [16:57:13] <tantek>
then it looks like this is out of date: http://microformats.org/wiki/include-pattern-feedback#Parsing_for_include-pattern
- [16:57:33] <tantek>
could you edit that accordingly?
- [16:58:06] <mkaply>
Yeah. I did find one issue that was kind of ugly to solve though.
- [16:58:23] <mkaply>
So the first thing I do before I parse any microformat is get what I call the "display name" which will show up on the menu
- [16:58:37] <mkaply>
for most microformats, this is kind of obvious - fn for an hcard, summary for an hcalendar, etc.
- [16:58:58] <tantek>
yes
- [16:59:18] <mkaply>
The object syntax makes this tricky in an hcard. What I'm doing now is when I don't find the fn, I actually have to instantiate the entire hcard in order to get the fn
- [16:59:41] <mkaply>
or I can kind of hackily look for objects in the vcard and check their corresponding nodes in the dom to see if they have an fn
- [17:00:01] * mkaply realizes he didn't completely finish object last night for today's release
- [17:00:07] <briansuda>
mkaply, you should email the dev-list because there are still outstanding issues about how to actually do the include-pattern
- [17:00:49] <mkaply>

- [17:24:19] <mkaply>
I want types for URL
- [17:24:57] <tantek>
mkaply - the 'type' attribute on <a href> already provides for that
- [17:25:09] <tantek>
and if you want to "tag" a URL, then use xfolk
- [17:25:46] <mkaply>
I was more thinking the difference between a personal and business URL -
- [17:26:16] <mkaply>
yahoo contacts supports adding multiple URLs, but in an hcard, I see know way to know which is business and which is personal
- [17:27:30] <mkaply>
briansuda: I have a report that my exported contacts don't work in outlook 2003, but they work for me in 2007 - do you know of anything I should be aware of ?
- [17:28:12] <briansuda>
well, what "doesn't work"? it might be an issue with multiple URLs or encoding? do you have a URL or what was expected?
- [17:34:20] <mkaply>
just an email from frances berriman. I'll see if it is a particular page/hcard
- [17:34:55] <mkaply>

- [17:35:02] <briansuda>

- [17:35:22] <briansuda>

- [17:35:26] <mkaply>
I can get any outlook we need (MSDN sub) - I just didn't want to install them all :) - But i will if I need to
- [17:35:28] <mkaply>
hcard
- [17:35:51] <briansuda>
i know UID and DTSTART are required for hCal

not sure about hCard....
- [17:36:08] <mkaply>
ok.

monkinetic, you need to do one of two things....
- [17:43:33] <briansuda>
you can remove organization-name
- [17:43:48] <briansuda>
or make it on a child-node inside the org
- [17:44:05] <briansuda>
<span class="org"><span class="organization-name"></span></span>
- [17:44:32] * bear_afk is now known as bear

<a href="http://godaddy.com" class="url org"><span class="organization-name">Go Daddy</span></a> ?
- [17:45:00] <briansuda>
that would work
- [17:45:05] <briansuda>
but the organization-name is not needed
- [17:45:10] <briansuda>
(in this case)
- [17:45:21] <monkinetic>
cool, thanks. FINALLY getting my about page cleaned up with a proper hcard
- [17:45:26] <monkinetic>

- [17:45:29] <briansuda>

- [17:50:15] <briansuda>
ok, i think you have a few extra class="url"s you can keep them or not...
- [17:50:47] <briansuda>
things like the class='url" on the ORG and the yahoo maps will be pulled in as part of the Steve Ivy vcard
- [17:51:08] <briansuda>
you might want to associate them with you, or not?
- [17:51:30] <monkinetic>
well, yeah, i thought that was the idea. hence the rel=me
- [17:51:39] <monkinetic>
oh, except the org
- [17:52:30] <briansuda>
right, but also the yahoo map GEO you MIGHT want that URL in your profile, but it is up to you

quick question, why does hcard use span class="adr" over <address>?
- [18:01:28] <briansuda>
the address element is not the semantics you think it is
- [18:01:43] <briansuda>
address is used for the contact information of the page author
- [18:01:47] <briansuda>
not a postal address

Ah nice. I'm interested in promoting MF in my workplace. We're a medium-sized consulting company mostly working with MS solutions (yuck!), but I want to slowly start introducing people to open standards and integrating semantics into production.
- [19:03:41] * Phae nods.

- [19:04:11] <Tyler>
I'm a FOSS enthusiest myself, trapped in a proprietary world. ;)
- [19:04:23] <Phae>
A good way to start showing it would just be to start implementing it in some small areas maybe, and just kinda showing it off a little and noting that it's very easy and quick to do
- [19:04:33] <Phae>
yeah

Our division lives and dies by MS.
- [19:07:31] <Tyler>
(Enterprise Content Management)
- [19:07:40] <Phae>
The company I work for is also an MS house.
- [19:07:46] <Phae>
So our web apps are .NET
- [19:08:17] <tantek>
you can use microformats with MS tools
- [19:08:29] <bewes1>
that's cool, MS has been advocating MF, so there is no credibility issue there
- [19:08:45] <Phae>
Yeah
- [19:09:16] <Tyler>
Exactly. I'm rather excited about it.
- [19:09:32] <Tyler>
I'm going to try and see if we can (eventually) integrate MF into MOSS07.
- [19:10:23] <Tyler>
Our company had/has a very large impact on what went/goes into that software. I'd love to see some plug-in or integration of sorts.
- [19:11:23] <AdamCraven>

Phae: I'd eventually like to move on to more open source endeavors, but as a rather recent college grad, I need to secure a bit of financial independence before doing anything too drastic. :)
- [19:13:03] <Phae>
Sure. That makes sense.
- [19:13:40] <Tyler>
That sounds rather interesting AdamCraven. What sort of help would you be looking for?
- [19:14:26] <AdamCraven>
Well I'd like to work with a few like minded individuals to really get it going and define a base for it
- [19:14:52] <AdamCraven>
so far there's some stuff tehre
- [19:14:56] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: what's the use case?
- [19:15:00] <tantek>
AdamCraven - has there been enough research done per the process?
- [19:15:00] <AdamCraven>
but not much action
- [19:15:07] <mfbot>
[[implementations]] http://microformats.org/wiki?title=implementations&diff=0&oldid=12059 * SteveIvy * (+83) Companies / Developers / Organizations -
- [19:15:26] <AdamCraven>
The initial research was done by others, but it's for use with any type of products
- [19:15:34] <AdamCraven>
perhaps services as well
- [19:15:50] * KevinMarks (n=Snak@dsl092-180-250.sfo1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #microformats
- [19:16:02] <AdamCraven>
there was conflict about it being a bit similar to hListing
- [19:16:04] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: have you been following the mailing list discussions that are relevant?
- [19:16:24] * ChanServ sets mode +o KevinMarks
- [19:16:25] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: eg Mike Schinkel was complaining about getting product information from third party vendors
- [19:16:45] <AdamCraven>
but it's really a different thing. Yes and no. I've been getting the emails but recently there's so much coming through I haven't read jack
- [19:17:05] <AdamCraven>
3rd party vendors? I can't see initially why that's a problem
- [19:17:06] <bewes1>
I doubt you are alone
- [19:17:27] <Tyler>
Hi there KevinMarks.
- [19:17:28] <AdamCraven>
If you have a product to sell, you can mark it up
- [19:17:38] <AdamCraven>
and bingo, it's ready in a machine friendly format
- [19:18:14] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: you are putting the cart in front of the horse :-)
- [19:18:15] <AdamCraven>
nothing too complicated. Name, Price(+shipping), description, but obviously things are more complicated than initial ideas
- [19:18:40] <tantek>
AdamCraven - unless those initial ideas are based on research, they are a priori and not fit for a microformat
- [19:18:41] <Tyler>
bewes1: Don't you mean the hCart? :p
- [19:18:48] <bewes1>
no
- [19:18:57] <Phae>
I've spent all day working on a product CD for a large company. They're very fussy about how their product ranges are displayed. It's part of their branding to them. I wonder how they would take to having to change that.
- [19:18:58] <tantek>
that list of fields must come from analysis of implied schema of examples
- [19:19:04] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: yeah, I'd encourage you to back up a little bit
- [19:19:06] <Phae>
Not that I'm saying they shouldn't, ofc.
- [19:19:14] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: find out what problems are actually ocurring in the wild
- [19:19:15] <tantek>
unless that thorough research and analysis is done, then no microformat
- [19:19:25] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: postpone brainstorming and ideation until after you collect evidence
- [19:19:34] <tantek>
and yes, as bewest says, define the problem you are trying to solve first
- [19:19:57] <bewes1>
as a tip, Mike Schinkel had a few complaints, I was trying to get more information from him
- [19:20:09] <Tyler>
Phae: What are your thoughts on changing it?
- [19:20:09] <AdamCraven>
This is obviously a place for talk, but going through the right process is important naturally
- [19:20:39] <Phae>
I'm not saying I would necessarily change it. It's just worth noting that there are conventions that people use already and I wondered if many had been documented yet.
- [19:20:44] <AdamCraven>
We all know to some degree how products are represnted on the web. It's common sense in many cases.
- [19:21:15] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: I want to encourage your efforts, but watch out for assumptions like that
- [19:21:47] <bewes1>
they can be deceiving
- [19:21:52] <AdamCraven>
specifically which assumptions?
- [19:22:17] <AdamCraven>
about how products are represented?
- [19:22:25] <bewes1>
"we know how products are represented", "it's common sense", and implicitly: "people commonly follow common sense when authoring markup"
- [19:22:30] <Tyler>
Ah yeah Phae, I'm constantly finding processes and conventions that never get written down. One of our biggest hurdles with enterprise content management is uniformity, so everyone knows how to do a certain process a certain way, so that if an issue arises, everyone can help address it.
- [19:22:54] <Phae>
That's the ticket, Tyler. Finding and documenting a good range of examples is a really valid and important step, imho.
- [19:23:09] <Phae>
And real ones. Not made up theoretical ones.
- [19:23:13] <AdamCraven>
I wasn't referring to mark-up. More of you can recognise a shop when you see one
- [19:23:55] <Tyler>
Exactly. It's like writing up personas for user experience researching. You have to actually talk to people who will be using your site to find out what they really do/want, instead of just fabricating a type of user.
- [19:24:05] <Phae>
:D
- [19:24:05] <Phae>
yeah
- [19:24:19] <bewes1>
if that's true, a good starting point would be to document all the ways shops are commonly marked up
- [19:24:43] <bewes1>
the process always starts with documenting what is present... we try not to skip ahead by believing that we generally know how it's done
- [19:25:00] <AdamCraven>
http://www.mail-archive.com/microformats-discuss@microformats.org/msg03311.html
- [19:25:09] <Tyler>
I have a hard time dealing with our clients who simply want something done the way they envision it, because 90% of the time, it ends up being a horribly unaccessible and as important, unaesthetic experience.
- [19:25:22] <AdamCraven>
Yes, I did a few. Obviously not exhaustive
- [19:25:40] <AdamCraven>
and blimey, I've never seen this web interface for the mailing list
- [19:25:47] <Phae>
heh
- [19:25:49] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: I think you will find lots of interest and support for this effort
- [19:25:50] <AdamCraven>
that's much nicer
- [19:25:51] <Phae>
it's pretty, huh?
- [19:25:54] <tantek>
AdamCraven, mailing list is not appropriate for research reference. Please start "product-examples" page for example, based on "examples" page. on the wiki.
- [19:26:10] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: but we'll be challenging you to stick to the process
- [19:26:16] <AdamCraven>
noooooooo. Don't wrap me up in red tape yet!
- [19:26:19] <bewes1>
:-)
- [19:26:20] <Phae>
heh
- [19:26:21] <bewes1>
it's not red tape
- [19:26:26] <Phae>
It's not red tape. It just stops anyone wasting their time.
- [19:26:28] <bewes1>
it's how we get things done
- [19:26:30] <tantek>
AdamCraven - it's a filter for all the random format ideas that come across
- [19:26:32] <Tyler>
Best practices.
- [19:26:40] <tantek>
it's also how you actually figure out what fields you NEED
- [19:26:44] <tantek>
vs. what you *think* you NEED
- [19:26:50] <bewes1>
exactly, tantek
- [19:26:56] <AdamCraven>
great! Well I know this will be a good one. And yes, need is the key
- [19:26:56] <tantek>
and how to name them the most compatibly with existing efforts
- [19:26:58] <Phae>
Anyway. This is too many cooks and I'm starving. brb.
- [19:27:01] <bewes1>
so for, example, the -discussion page there raises a lot of red flags for me
- [19:27:08] <Tyler>
Righto Phae.
- [19:27:08] <tantek>
the process is there to build a better format
- [19:27:25] <bewes1>
because most of the content on that page is people saying what they believe/predict how things should be
- [19:27:32] <bewes1>
without the documentation of what already exists
- [19:27:53] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: does that make sense?
- [19:28:11] <AdamCraven>
yes it does. I believe with this one it will be quite easy the process
- [19:28:18] <AdamCraven>
because there are so many examples
- [19:28:27] <AdamCraven>
and shit, I'm liking the web interface
- [19:28:32] <AdamCraven>
for the mail archive
- [19:29:04] <bewes1>
also, don't just focus on the fields being presented
- [19:29:11] <bewes1>
capturing the mark up is also very useful
- [19:29:18] <AdamCraven>
what do you mean by that?
- [19:29:27] <bewes1>
I'm looking at the hproduct-examples page
- [19:29:43] <bewes1>
the documentation there captures which fields are represented
- [19:29:49] <AdamCraven>
ah yes
- [19:29:52] <bewes1>
but now how they are represented (the markup)
- [19:29:56] <AdamCraven>
it doesn't include any mark-up ideas
- [19:29:57] <bewes1>
* not how
- [19:30:01] <bewes1>
we aren't capturing ideas
- [19:30:06] <bewes1>
we are just capturing what already exists
- [19:30:08] <AdamCraven>
indeed
- [19:30:08] <bewes1>
:-)
- [19:30:40] <AdamCraven>
It's ok to have extra mark-up fields that won't be used all the time?.. for example.
- [19:30:56] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: anyway, I'm pretty excited about this
- [19:31:27] <bewes1>
make sure you capture real problems that people are having, because unless we are solving a real problem with a real use case, the format isn't worth much
- [19:31:34] <AdamCraven>
On the web there's some sites that list prices & shipping (ebay).
- [19:31:44] <bewes1>
I might be able to reach out to amazon and see what problems they might have
- [19:32:12] <bewes1>
AdamCraven: it's impossible to tell until after we collect a sufficiently large number of examples, right?
- [19:32:15] <tantek>
hmm... just noticed that the pages didn't use a generic name
- [19:32:18] <AdamCraven>
The price can be much marked up by the shipping costs. So it creates a problem if you don't include it
- [19:32:31] <tantek>
no double negative reasoning please
- [19:32:37] <AdamCraven>
but not all products have shipping prices
- [19:32:49] <tantek>
if we don't do x, there will be a problem
- [19:32:59] <tantek>
that's not valid reasoning
- [19:33:05] <AdamCraven>
so in some cases you can have additional mark-up that won't be used?
- [19:33:10] <tantek>
every property must be justified on its own accord for what it solves
- [19:33:18] <tantek>
rather than what the lack of it causes
- [19:33:31] * tantek is going to move the pages to generic names per process
- [19:33:36] <tantek>
the hproduct- pages that is
- [19:33:45] <AdamCraven>
You can put what I said then into the positive as well. It solves a problem
- [19:33:57] <AdamCraven>
However, this is an irc channel
- [19:33:57] <tantek>
you should put it in the positive - that's my point
- [19:34:14] <AdamCraven>
and my fingers hurt
- [19:34:30] <AdamCraven>
thus I don't want to type out all day. But I appreciate your feedback
- [19:34:39] <tantek>
it's more than just wording
- [19:35:03] <tantek>
it's changing your way of thinking about it - so that naturally you think more about supporting a property, rather than arguing against it's removal

- [19:50:09] <Phae>
Which?
- [19:50:40] <Tyler>
Unfortunately my college didn't offer a good degree for what I wanted to study, so I made my own. :)
- [19:51:04] <JMulder>
Heh, sounds like my university.
- [19:51:05] <Phae>
Fair enough.
- [19:51:41] <Tyler>
Yeah, I was lucky enough to be in the "Liberal Arts" college of my university, so making my own degree was an option.
- [19:51:54] <Phae>
Crazy americans.
- [19:52:09] <Phae>
But yeah. Worthy cause. :)
- [19:52:27] <Tyler>
I'd like to think so! hehe
- [19:52:36] <JMulder>
I only got to do that with one semester. Best semester I ever did though :x
- [19:53:02] <Tyler>
Yeah, I basically got to make a whole bunch of independent studies and got into plenty of classes that had prerequisites.
- [19:53:03] <Tyler>
:)
- [19:53:14] <JMulder>
Sweet.
- [19:54:16] <Tyler>
I'm guessing I'm the only fellow with a BA in HCI, whereas most HCI degrees are BS-based and include more CS courses.
- [19:54:35] <Phae>
I did HCI during my computing degree. It was part of it though.
- [19:55:14] <Tyler>
Ah neat. I basically made it an entire curriculum. haha

- [19:56:37] <Phae>
Probably.
- [19:56:44] <Phae>

mmhmm
- [19:57:18] <JMulder>
Which I like, but I wish they'd offer to get specialised as well. Instead, it's all self-study, as they call it. a.k.a. paying them yet doing it yourself.
- [19:57:39] <Tyler>
That was like my studies JMulder. I took everything from technical writing, to web developer certification, to graphic design, to programming.
- [19:58:06] <JMulder>

briansuda: the trick is that as soon as you put something in a block-level element in markdown, it stops processing.
- [21:12:04] <Tyler>
Hehe
- [21:12:10] <briansuda>
well, that is a specific issue with Markdown, not the concept of marking-down

empty questions do not belong in the FAQ - they belong in issues
- [22:21:59] <tantek>
this is a little ridiculous

- [22:24:24] <briansuda>
i think the keyword in FAQ is "frequently"
- [22:24:40] <tantek>
and if it doesn't have an answer - it is an unresolved issue
- [22:24:48] <tantek>
and therefore belongs in -issues not -faq
- [22:24:51] <tantek>

briansuda: where does the "author" value come from, and does it really mean the author of the book being reviewed, or is it intended to be used as the author of the review or page
- [22:25:35] <bewest>
yeah, that definitely doesn't belong in FAQ
- [22:25:40] <bewest>
not sure why someone would put it there

- [22:26:40] * tantek is unsure why people make extra work for themselves in this way.
- [22:26:54] <bewest>
or extra work for others....

Andy Mabbett has now continued to email the mailing-list with meta-discussion emails even though he has been requested to stop and been told he will be banned if he doesn't.
- [23:53:57] * Phae nods.
- [23:54:57] <tantek>
For anyone here on IRC who has been following microformats-discuss, I am going to ask for anyone who wishes to note *any* reason to not ban Andy Mabbett from the mailing list for a week as a result of his inability to stop wasting list time with meta-discussion emails even after being asked to stop.
- [23:57:27] <tantek>
I'll wait one hour - until 5pm PST for anyone else to raise any objections to banning Andy Mabbett for a week. Absent any objections (for any reason), I will then ban him.
- [23:59:38] * Tyler nods.
