Need help explaining a bug

[delladea]

I'm not sure how to fully explain bug 4026, since vCards are something I had never heard of before. The helpful folks in IRC linked me to an article explaining what they were, so I can now explain the "what" of the bug, but not the "why". Mainly because I have no idea how vCards are used on Dreamwidth, and I couldn't find anything in the FAQ or wiki to do with them.

So, how are vCards used on Dreamwidth?

Edit: I think I can explain the bug enough for the tour, but I'm still quite curious as to how DW uses vCards. :)

Partial Code Tour: November 11 - 21, 2011

Hello Dreamwidth, it's time for another code tour! This is part of a solid month of theme-adding and bug-smashing that will all be live as of the next code push.

In this tour, we have patches by rb, ninetydegrees, sophie, denise, and laitaine. New themes were contributed by asenathwaite, rising, dancing_serpent, bindingthreads, timeasmymeasure, and nornoriel. Thank you to all who contributed!

Some of these are already live on the site (mostly the documentation related categories).

( Fasten your seat belts kids, 30 bugs ahead )

The next code push is scheduled for tomorrow (Friday). Keep an eye on dw_maintenance for more information.

And thus this part of the tour is concluded. Stay tuned for the next part of what will go live in the next code push!
