__NOTOC__
= Microformats IRC =

We have an IRC channel, [irc://irc.freenode.net/microformats #microformats on the freenode network].

There's typically someone there at any point during the day, though there isn't always active discussion. Sometimes, though this is the best place to debate issues that need lots of back and forth discussion.

<code>?def jdoe is John Doe and can be found online at <nowiki>http://www.example.com</nowiki></code>

==Meetups==

The idea of having IRC meetups (that is, a set time for meeting on IRC) has been suggested by [[User:RyanKing|Ryan King]], as it appears to work well for the WordPress community and may help us from time-to-time. As of yet, there are no plans to have meetups, though.

Fantasai: /* Issues */ address is not an inline element

<h1> hResume issues </h1>

These are externally raised issues about [[hresume|hResume]] with broadly varying degrees of merit. Thus some issues are REJECTED for a number of obvious reasons (but still documented here in case they are re-raised), and others contain longer discussions. Some issues may be ACCEPTED and perhaps cause changes or improved explanations in the spec. Submitted issues may (and probably will) be edited and rewritten for better terseness, clarity, calmness, rationality, and as neutral a point of view as possible. Write your issues well. — [http://tantek.com/log/ Tantek]

__TOC__

== Issues ==

* {{OpenIssue}} 2006-10-19 raised by [[RyanKing]].
*# ''There's currently no way to say 'present' in hCalendar''
*#* Many job experience listings will include jobs that the person is presently working at. Ciaran McNulty [http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-October/006477.html correctly pointed out] that a blank DTEND does not indicate that the event is still ongoing. We need to find an easy way to make this work in hResume.

* {{OpenIssue}} 2006-10-19 raised by [[Steve Ganz]].
*# ''There's currently no way to distinguish different hCard types in hResume''
*#* In Draft, version 0.1 it is specified that a parent element of <code>address</code> should be used to the distinguish an hCard as the subject's contact info. This proves problematic to implement because <code>address</code> cannot contain block level elements. To avoid sacrificing semantic value by restricting the child elements of an hCard to inline elements, we need to settle on an alternate method to classify a subject's hCard as thier contact info.
*#* In any given experience there may be one or more hCards. One which would be the subject's hCard for that experience and the other for a supervisor or manager, etc. We need a way to distinguish different hCards in a given experience.

Fantasai:

This page is a place holder for examples of how people currently collect questions and answers

== Examples ==

DocBook has a <qandaset> element http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/qandaset.html
which is used with <question> and <answer> elements, and optionally
<qandadiv> elements.

The Firefox faq is marked up with <dl> http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq
as is the old Mozilla 1.5 FAQ: http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.5/faq/profile.html#newprofile
Both of them are separated into sections and have tables of contents.
