Microformats.org & xFolk

I think I will put xFolk on microformats.org. Any thoughts?

Sections: Emerging Practice Tools and Analytics

Topics: microformats wiki xFolk

As many are no doubt aware, a number of folks have started a microformats blog, wiki, and repository at microformats.org. It is very likely that I will move xFolk to that venue.

To be honest, as an outsider to the founding group, it's possible to feel concerns about control. Will I find xFolk arbitrarily changed by founding group members? Will they give it prominent enough position?

My interactions with Tantek Çelik, Ryan King, and Kevin Marks, three of the founding members, and my own edits on the wiki to date suggest to me that these concerns are remote at worst. More importantly, I think xFolk will gain by being out in the public space open for edits and debate by the community at large. I do plan to maintain an editorial role in xFolk using the usual wiki mechanisms, and I also plan to continue promoting it.

So, I think I will move xFolk to microformats.org. Any thoughts?

On a wing and a prayer.
