[NewMusic] Bay Area New Music on Wikevent

[Mark Jaroski]

Well, if you want to develop something then cool.  I would suggest that
microforats (hcard and hcalendar in particular) are really imporant these
days, perhaps moreso than RSS.  That's why I've been concentrating on
getting those things right first.

Not that I don't agree with you.  RSS *is* imporant to have, I just think
the semantic web stuff is more important.  That and the license.  We've
settled on the Creative Commons by 2.5, which should let our event data go
as far and wide as possible.  The idea is just to provide an entry
mechanism.. after that the event data winds up just about everywhere.
