Hi Jerome,

We've been experiencing this issue a lot lately, but the only cases
seem to be from development gadgets. Here is the situation as it was
explained to me. When caching is disabled, and a gadget is loaded, a
request is made to each of the URLs in the gadget spec, including all
of the message bundles. If one of these requests fails, the gadget
rendering fails. The greater the number of message bundles, the higher
the probability of error.

When caching is enabled (assuming it's not a brand new gadget), if the
appropriate window has passed to recache the gadget, again, a request
will be made for each of the URLs in the gadget spec, but in this
case, if a request fails, there is a cached copy of that file for a
backup. The more frequently used a gadget is, the more frequently
these failed attempts are corrected and the more likely it is for all
of the message bundles to be properly cached and up to date.

So, that information doesn't really help on the development front, but
in the future, the opensocial-0.8 spec allows message bundles to be
included inside of the gadget spec so that when the gadget loads, all
of the message bundles are loaded implicitly. This should greatly
reduce the likelihood for error in rendering (though you might still
get the information not available error occasionally...)

I hope this helps.

Best,
Dan
