Have you guys had a chance to chat with the CC folk about this? I had a very brief conversation with Mike Linksvayer about CM at NetSquared, but delicious catered lunch got in the way. I am sure they will be able to provide some tips/tricks/advice.

Today on IRC[1], we talked briefly about the Microformats Logo and how it is setup to be a Community Mark. Tantek pointed to Chris Messina's original post about the idea of a community mark[2]. I really do like the idea, it fits nicely with everything that we are doing here as a community, but i do have some reservations and questions. Hopefully, as a community we can help clarify what a "community mark" (cm) really is? I also know Microformats are very much against "Theoretical" situations, so i'll try and ground this in the real world as much as possible! Back in March, i had a suggestion for a Microformat style T-Shirt[3] I really like it, but i'm biased. Now since the logo is a community mark, I would need to ask the community's approval to use the logo and put it on a shirt and possibly sell it on my own Microformats store. 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. I've shared apartments with people before and we had similar community agreements, you can eat my food, use my stuff, just ask, or just give back - and that works really well, until someone says "we you let me use it last week..." (we all know how it starts, and we all know how it ends!) I ask these question not because I want this to fail, but because I want it to succeed. -brian [1] - http://rbach.priv.at/Microformats-IRC/2006-06-23#T002652 [2] - http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/01/14/the-case-for-community-marks/ [3] - http://flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/117364751/ [4] - http://www.goodstorm.com/stores/factorycity [5] - http://pingerati.net/ Tantek Çelik wrote: > On 6/22/06 5:13 PM, "Rémi Prévost" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Hello all, >> >> I made a (very simple) wallpaper[1] for promoting microformats.
