Put it on the wiki

As stated in the mailing-lists general guidelines, maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) on the email lists is important. In addition, we don't want to lose good content in the pile of emails that goes across the lists. Thus here are some concrete examples, learned from experience with the lists, for when it is better to add information to the wiki directly rather than send email.

In general, use the wiki to capture state, and email lists only for notification when possible.

Examples of microformats usage

If you have examples of microformats usage, please go ahead and add them to the respective examples-in-the-wild page or section. E.g.

Since new examples are often useful for others' understanding, and for developers' parser testing, if you like you are also encouraged to send email to the microformats-discuss mailing list announcing your support of specific microformats and noting that you have added your site and the specific URLs with the microformats to the respective examples in the wild pages/sections on the wiki.

Better yet, blog about it!
