So I just wrote the first 2.0 reference domain and test suite. Its called reference_a.
Apache SVN is down at the moment, so im attaching the domain and test suite. I will commit it when SVN becomes available. Some notes on the test suites: https://wiki.apache.org/devicemap/DataSpec2#Test_Suites This is the first of several reference domains and test suites. This one is pretty simple and gives me enough to start writing the reference client. The next step is the write the actual reference client. I will begin this on Monday. After that, I will create a few more reference domains (reference_b, reference_c, etc) which go more deeply into the spec, then I will refine the client, refine the spec, repeat. When this process is all said and done, 2.0 is ready from a specification standpoint! This is obviously an open process, so feel free to join in and comment, etc. The reference client will be written in Java, but will strive to be as clear, readable and vanilla as possible. This will not be the official Java client since performance is not a requirement here. Official clients should be written for performance, maintainability, and correctness. When the specification is ready (shooting for August), people can start contributing clients. As long as they pass the reference test suites, they will be valid. At minimum, you should be able to clone or copy the reference client, assuming the target language is Java-like. Otherwise you are free to write the client as you see fit, it just needs to pass the test suites. When the spec is done, I will begin working on the new device, browser, and OS domains. Once again, as long as these domains pass the reference client, they will be good to go. So you should be able to see a theme here, which is that clients and data are completely independent, but together form a nice ecosystem. Let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, commments, etc. Otherwise, sit back, relax, and wait for the reference client.
