Sure. Step 1., get a W3C Account.

a) if you work for  a member organization, find out who your W3C
'advisory committee' rep is, and do it through then
or
b) members of the public can also get W3C accounts, see under
http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas#Introduction "To edit this wiki,
you'll need a W3C account; these are available to all"
-> https://www.w3.org/accounts/request has details on the process (it
might take a few hours, and some checking for mail response etc.).

Step 2., create some markup examples. For this you'll need some
passing familiarity with MediaWiki. There are a few ways we could do
this. Markup inline in a Wiki page, or links to files elsewhere (e.g.
W3C mercurial repository --- yet more tooling to learn, github,
external URLs etc.).

W3C's installation of MediaWiki has a useful addon for markup
examples, here's a quick sample:

<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict" line start="1" highlight="2,3">
 <div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/SoftwareApplication">
    <p itemprop="operatingSystems">OSX 10.6</p>,
    <p itemprop="operatingSystems">Windows 7</p>
 ...
 </div>
</syntaxhighlight>

I have made a super-quick example page here, just to get started:
http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/MultipleTypesSDO

Feel free to add inline linked examples, attachments, links to github,
gist, mercurial, ... whatever is easiest.

Hope that helps,

Dan
