I’ll get back to you on this, ok? It would be great to get you involved

If you need a hand on wiki - give me a shoult, i’ve used quite a few. There is one that can be templated to look like your WP blog.

If you’re looking for a complete blog/wiki/rss solution then I’d thoroughly recommend Blogtronix.

Thanks for dropping by. The idea is to create a central resource for industry to create new codes of conduct that will help enable more trust on the Web. Thereby empowering users to find more information about a site without having to visit it.

Many people are talking about things that interest me – such as trust, relevance, filtering, standards and the Semantic Web. Content Labels enables all of the above!

This is something we’ve been working on for over a year and a half under the radar – so it’s time to get it adopted on a mass scale! Getting people like you talking about it is exactly what I’m after. In fact, let’s label your site so you can take screen shots for your own blog in search results! We’ve done this for TechCrunch UK (ouch), Tom Raftery and Read/WriteWeb is being done as I type. Robert Scoble is picking up on it too so I’m looking forward to sharing all of this with Rob.

Thanks for your very generous offer to help out – consider your offer accepted with open arms! I met Sam Sethi today (will write something on my new blog shortly). I don’t know much about wikis – does it make sense to split this up? Take a look at www.microformats.org – this is basically what we need.

I know you’ll want to get involved in the creation of a code of conduct for blogs anyway – whether you think it’s a good idea or not…

This site is open to all – but I’d like to get some really good people on board early to help get it going… I still need to reply to a designer who has volunteered to create a brand identity and set of iconography. Great start!

Cheers, Paul

The aim of this blog is to seed the discussion and see what the community would like for common codes of conduct. i.e ecommerce, blogging, etc

The analogy to microformats is because the web community tired of waiting for the semantic web (RDF) decided to build a simpler, easier version to move things forward. A similar work could be started called MicroLabels which would be XHTML markup read by a parser like the one recently developed by Firefox and IBM called the operator.

What’s good about Content Labels is that it does everything that I think we need in terms of enabling search engines and browsers to identify sites that claim conformance to standards, best practices and codes of conduct – as with Search Thresher http://www.segala.com/searchthresher_wp/

So, I’d like to reiterate that the purpose of this blog is to create, debate, stimulate and standardise new codes of conduct. It doesn’t matter how whacky they may sound, let’s get them on the table to discuss further.

Discussion about the technical aspects of the Content Label itself is out of scope for this blog - let’s leave that to the W3C to ratify… If we find that the makeup of the Content Label can be further improved through indirect research, then by all means lets discuss it further. I don’t want this site to turn into a forum for the RDF vs XML debate! It’s not even going to be a Microformats vs Content Labels debate – although we do have a lot to learn from the Microformats site.

NB. I’m not going to comment on what I think about Microformats

I’ll knock something together for the About section as soon as I get a chance and you can help revise it for others to then review/revise as necessary.

Lastly, (in case we have any new visitors reading) you don’t need to be technical to contribute – non-techies may have great ideas about specific codes of conduct - the techies on the site can then create the Content Labels to go with the codes of conduct.

I’m about to kick start this off properly soon. Been busy migrating the Segala site to Wordpress.

We’ve got some other good guys on board so I’ll knock up a contributors page shortly.
