.Humans.txt – An initiative to know the authors of the sites

Diposting oleh ahmad Sabtu, 27 Agustus 2011
The people who created or started this initiative thinks that The internet is for humans… We are always saying that, but the only file we generate is one full of additional information for the searchbots: robots.txt. Then why not doing one for ourselves?
humans.txt is a txt file located in the site root folder. Just next to the robots.txt file. If possible, you can also add an author tag to the <head> of the site: <link type=”text/plain” rel=”author” href=”http://domain/humans.txt” />.
the main purpose behind this project is to know the authors of the sites we visit. Humans.txt is just a way to have more information about the authors of the site.
Standard guidelines to make the humans.txt suggested by Abel Cabans :
  1. Create a text file called humans.txt (always in lower-case) and make it UTF-8 encoded to avoid issues with special characters and multiple languages.
If you want, you can also:
  1. Place a reference to the file in the <head> of the site: <link rel="author" href="humans.txt" />
  2. For the sake of clarity and to keep a basic visual structure, you can use the headings /*TEAM*/ and /*SITE*/ to separate the human team from other information about the website.
  3. Include the following information about every human involved in the project: role, name, contact, twitter, geolocation, etc. Please be aware that you may have to deal with spam if you include email adresses.
  4. You can also include additional information about the site, such as the date of the last update (YYYY/MM/DD), its main language, its Doctype and other components, tools and software used on the development.
  5. Save the file and place it in your site root.
  6. Add the humansTXT button to your site and link it to your humansTXT file.
A standard humans.txt file should be similar to the following:
/* TEAM */
Your title: Your name.
Site: email, link to a contact form, etc.
Twitter: your Twitter username.
Location: City, Country.

                        [...]

/* THANKS */
Name: name or url

                        [...]

/* SITE */
Last update: YYYY/MM/DD
Standards: HTML5, CSS3,..
Components: Modernizr, jQuery, etc.
