microformats history
Overview
The history of microformats, both conceptually, and by name.
Chronologically (not reverse) ordered (earliest first).
Need Help!
The history is greatly in need of further documentation with specific dates. Please contribute what you can find and cite/hyperlink sources!
Here are some sources to mine for historical facts related to microformats:
- presentations for a list of presentations / sessions on microformats which themselves often contain quite a bit of historical information.
- GMPG history for GMPG specific events.
- The "history" tab (in between "edit" and "protect" in the MediaWiki UI at the top) of each microformats specification is a useful place to find datetimes for when specific significant implementations and examples in the wild were launched/published (or references to when they were lauched/published).
- The Technorati Developer's wiki is useful for wiki edit histories before 2005-06-20
Things to document in the history record
- Terms. When was a term first introduced
- Microformats. When was a microformat first proposed (e.g. hCard etc.
- Specs. When a "solid" version for a microformat was published/announced (and follow-ups, e.g. hReview 0.1, 0.2, 0.3)
- Presentations. When each live (in-person) presentation occured (yes I realize this will thus become a superset of the presentations page, that's ok.)
- Papers/Posters. When each formal paper/poster on microformats was published (e.g. XFN at 2004 ACM HyperText, XMDP at WWW2005, Microformats at WWW2006 etc.)
- Print articles. When each *print* article on microformats was published. Please provide full Chicago Manual of Style citation info.
