Questions:
1) What constitutes a "community consensus", if I ask the list and 5
people respond saying, "sure go ahead", is that enough?
2) Can it be revoked? If my shirt sells like wild-fire and and the
other
microformats store[4] gets mad, can my usage be revoked?
3) what about projects that can not be disclosed? Pingerati.net[5]
has a
big Microformats logo on it, Technorati didn't ask the community (i'm
sure it would have been OK) but if they had asked, the description of
usage would have either been vague or they would have to give away the
surprise of what they were working on.
Good questions. I've previously used the microformats logo liberally
without permission. I don't mind asking permission if that's
desired, but I would think 99% of use cases would be appropriate, and
it seems like a waste of time to go through a voting process for
every case looking for that 1% of inappropriate cases. As the number
of microformat projects increases, I can imagine the discussion-to-
voting ratio dropping to unreadable levels. Maybe this would be a
good a voteLinks [1] use case, but couldn't we just work on implicit
approval unless otherwise revoked?
Peace,
Scott
