RoadMap
Road Map towards future releases
This is a very basic and preliminary road map as we head towards a version 1.0 release of hkit. Contributions are always welcomed.
Version 1.0
These are the primary objectives that need to be fulfilled to reach hkit version 1.
- Solid hCard implementation (pass all tests: http://microformats.org/tests/hcard/)
- Support for XFN, minimum rel="me"
- Support for multiple class instances within a script
- User documentation for creating format profiles
- Remote document caching
- Representative hCard support
Immediately beyond 1.0
- Native JSON output option
- hReview implementation (pass all tests: http://microformats.org/tests/hreview/)
- hCalendar implementation (when tests become available)
- Support for parsing for multiple compound microformats at once (e.g. hCard within an hReview)

It would be interesting if it were possible to do interop/develop test suites for hKit, hPricot and mofo... so that we begin to have solid, multi-language libraries that all work the same and use approximately the same nomenclature for methods and so on.
Also, representative hcard/hcard-uid would be very useful.
I have some XFN test data (for both valid and invalid relationships) at:
http://deliciouslymeta.com/projects/xfn/test_data.html
Chris Wanstrath uses this for mofo. It does not inlcude any hCard, however - probably a good next step. Also, I should add that data to the DiSo? repository.
The top issue I have seen with use of hKit, especially for social network portability, is correctly identifying the representative hCard for a page, given a page with many hCards (e.g. Twitter profiles, Pownce profiles).
I suggest that a 0.6 release include the following: representative hCard support
Such a revision would immediately benefit users of hKit, such as those that are implementing importing and subscribing to hCard profiles with hKit.

Agreed, representative hCard support is now a requirement for version 1, and hopefully will be in svn much sooner than that. (Working on it.)
