[microformats-discuss] Announcing microformats discovery brainstorming

Wed Jul 13 19:29:17 PDT 2005

Thanks Josh, I think the points you raise about: a) knowing a 
micrformat is there; and b) needing to be able to do something with 
them once you know they are there are key.
The thing I am excited about in this forum is that I believe we have 
what is necessary to produce solutions, and I expect you will see 
some soon. The point of the page is to, to the extent possible, 
provide a collection point for answers.
Feel free to add,
Bud
