Ah that would explain a lot, in that case the substitutions is only a tiny
part of what you'll run into :)

To render OpenSocial gadgets correctly you have to implement


   - gadget spec:
   
http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v08/gadget-spec(this
includes the details on message bundles and substitutions)
   - OpenSocial spec:
   http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081
   - RESTful API spec:
   
http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/restful-protocol
   - (Optional) JSON-RPC spec:
   
http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/rpc-protocol

And of course the complete JS API, there's a chapter on "OpenSocial
compliance' in the OpenSocial spec document which documents all of this:
http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081

Next to that there's of course the compatibility with the 0.5 and 0.7
versions of the spec, and the upcoming changes / additions from 0.9 which
includes things like templating, cache invalidation, proxied content, a new
JS API and a couple of other things, the draft of which you can find here:
http://sites.google.com/site/opensocialdraft/Home/

In general, we would (I would even say 'strongly') advice people to use
shindig (http://incubator.apache.org/shindig) since this would save you a
*lot* of time, plus the future time investment to keep compliant with the
latest OpenSocial spec, but on the other hand another reference
implementation is always welcome too of course (but so are contributions to
Shindig!)

Hope that helps!
