[microformats-discuss] Announcing microformats discovery brainstorming

[Bud Gibson]

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
