microformats history
- Other uses: for work towards a history microformat, see history-examples and consider simply using hCalendar to document events occuring in the past. See history-disambiguation for more uses.
This page is for documenting the history of microformats, both conceptually, and by name.

How to add things
The history is chronologically (not reverse) ordered (earliest first).
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, by whom, etc.
- Microformats. When was each microformat first proposed (e.g. hCard, hCalendar etc.)
- Specs. When a "solid" version for a microformat was published/announced (and follow-ups, e.g. hReview 0.1, 0.2, 0.3), when were microformats specifications first introduced.
- 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.
Things better documented elsewhere
This page is for the history of microformats and is thus scoped to just that. Microformats are of course built upon many other technologies and concepts, but let's avoid diluting this page with items which are not specific to microformats, even if they are related. I've moved some content to the following pages which folks are free to add more to if they wish.
