I was thinking of an alternative that would allow anyone to publish a meeting with a standard data format (similar to recipes) and get picked up by a massive meeting indexer. But then I realized that event coordinators want a lot of control over RSVPs, sending messages to attendees, and the ability to collect money ahead of time to pre-pay for event supplies, etc. It really is annoying that you need a platform to handle this, but anything else might end up being too complicated.
- leggomylibro 7y agoIs there a standard data format for recipes? That sounds interesting.
- peterwwillis 7y agoIt's a combination of this Google data format (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/recipe https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/recipe) and these WordPress plugins (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/, https://www.wpultimaterecipe.com/ https://www.wpultimaterecipe.com/). Every recipe blog you have ever seen is probably a combination of these two. I think there's one additional format, but I can't find it, because all the search results are just random shitty recipes.
- nradov 7y agoYes there is a standard data format for recipes. https://schema.org/Recipe https://schema.org/Recipe
- james_impliu 7y agoThis would be cool - an RSS feed for meetings, sort of. You could even display it in your calendar app directly.
