[Slashcode-general] Slashcode support of RDFa?

[Manu S. <ms...@di...>]

Are there any plans to support RDFa[1] on Slashdot or in Slashcode in
the near future?

I ask because I'm on the RDFa Task Force at the W3C and because we have
been working with technology news sites (Digg.com) to enable semantic
web markup in those sites. A couple of other things we were wondering:

- Could we submit a patch to Slashcode that adds RDFa support to pages?
The first pass would add Dublin Core[2] elements to describe title,
abstract, source links and perhaps people. This would allow search
indexers to more accurately categorize Slashcode-run sites in the future.

- Are there plans to support Microformats[3]? Would you accept a patch
to enable Microformats support in stories as well?

- If a patch is accepted, what are the chances that Slashdot would start
serving RDFa-enabled web pages?
