New drafts, archived drafts/spec, and new microformats in general.
1. New drafts. Since both: * hReview-aggregate * rel-author have shown fairly broad publishing support, and are consumed by popular/mainstream sites/applications (e.g. search engines), I've added them as "Drafts" per the microformats process[1]. http://microformats.org/wiki/#Drafts 2. Archived drafts/spec In addition, I created a new section "Archived" (Ben Ward's suggestion) to collect microformats that haven't really taken off, that is appear to lack any major publishing/consuming support and have moved the following there: http://microformats.org/wiki/#Archived * hAudio * rel-directory * rel-enclosure * robots exclusion * VoteLinks * xFolk If anyone knows of major publishing support or major consuming support for any of these, please add links to such sites/applications to the spec pages' respective "Examples in the Wild" *-examples-in-wild or "Implementation" *-implementations sections/pages respectively and we can reconsider accordingly, or perhaps they'll be used as informative data/research in the development of future microformats. For more on this see: http://microformats.org/wiki/process#related_issues_questions_regarding_document_stages 3. new microformats in general - let's use microformats2 syntax only. While the subtopic of new microformats in general may be more appropriate for "microformats-new" (and perhaps we can fork it there if discussion appears substantial), I thought it made sense to introduce this within the broader context of microformat spec transitions (forward/backward) in general and thus it's here. Since microformats2 has been stable for quite some time now and we're starting to see publishing on individual and organization sites [2], for all the advantages[3] provided by microformats2 over classic microformats, at this point I think it makes the most sense to develop any new microformats using microformat2 syntax *only*, and that includes any exploratory discussions in progress[4]. As an example of this I'm restarting the citation microformat effort[5], with a simplified proposal using microformats2 syntax, based on an in-person brainstorm of a serendipitous meeting of web-citation-interested-parties during the recent IndieWebCamp 2012.[6] I'll follow-up with that on the microformats-new list when I've posted a new proposal to the wiki.
