Having a quick look at the Microformats site, I notice the only reference to any help (outside of discuss) is the 'Wiki' link on the About page -- which, if you don't really know what a wiki does, is a bit confusing. Maybe it's worth taking a tip from some of the 'Web 2.0'-style sites and changing the main site to use friendly, if basic language ("Help" for wiki for example)
Yeah - definitely. It would be nice to allow an easy way for people to get into the discussion and get a good overview of where we already are (what's worked and what hasn't) before they even get to the mailing list, basically. Apart from anything, the list is going to become repeatative quickly! It's a good reason why splitting these discussions off to a seperate list will help too. -- Frances Berriman http://www.fberriman.com _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
