[uf-discuss] Fwd: Timeline and microformats

[Chris Messina]

I'd seen this work before and thought it the perfect implementation
opportunity for MFs. I even added the WordPress plugin to my about
page [1] -- but wht I really wanted to do was map the hAtom posts on
my blog (since K2 supports hAtom) on to the Simile UI as an
alternative browsing UI.

If we can get an hAtom to JSON converter as well, perhaps this idea
could happen?
