Barnaby Walters • Notes

Go “applaud“ @teamIdno’s Knight News Challenge submission: newschallenge.org/challenge/2014/submissions/idno-a-collective-storytelling-platform-that-supports-the-diversity-of-the-web — it’s a proven, stable project, used and relied on in the public by it’s creators every day. I’d love to see what @benwerd and @erinjo can do with some funding.

@benwerd I learnt a little more about Iðnó — it’s currently a culture house with performance space and a restaraunt, but it used to be the place where craftsmen were trained. The name is pronounced ith-ner, and is shortened form of “craftsmanship”.

Ben Werdmuller: @barnabywalters That's really cool. Do you know what it means? What was it?

@benwerd it’s a restaurant in the middle of town — no idea what the name actually means, I’ll ask an Icelander http://www.idno.is/english.html

The D isn’t actually a D, nor is it pronounced like one. It’s an Eth.

Ben Werdmuller: @barnabywalters Btw, I don't actually see datetime format guidelines in the mf2 spec. Hoping moving to the time attribute helps. 8m

@benwerd explained here and here — essentially <time class="dt-*" datetime="yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss±hhmm">human representation</time> is the preferred format.

Sorry about the messy state of the mf2 docs at the moment, we’re working on it!

@benwerd loving your work on idno! Just had a look at the source, great that you’re using #microformats 2, I have some suggestions/corrections:

.h-entry is better off where you’ve got .idno-entry so then the author .h-card can be scoped into the entry
add .p-author to the .h-card for each .h-entry to explicitly declare authorship
put .h-as-* on the same element as .h-entry .idno-entry
put .u-url where you currently have .dt-published, move .dt-published to the time element

Thanks to Aaron Parecki you can see how a page is parsed here, or use my php-mf2 demo sandbox for experimentation by hand.
