This seems to me to be a mistake. gData is built on Atom. Atom is an RFC. And the only thing cakePHP should be concerned about is adoption. If OpenSocial leads to widespread adoption of gData sources and sinks outside Google, I don't see how they can avoid it. I'm not especially happy about gData being owned and extended by Google because of the difficulty of getting Google to discuss it's direction but if it means widespread adoption I'll live with that. -- Julian Bond E&MSN: julian_bond at voidstar.com M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ skype:julian.bond?chat *** Just Say No To DRM *** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenSocial Container Developers" group.
