Devendra, Yeah, that's the way to go. Client libraries for the same API but for different platforms all get to have a project site of their own, from where they can be cross-linked to each other. I just added links to the PHP, .NET and Qt libraries that all of you from the community have contributed to the "external links" section of orkut-os-client project home page, and would suggest you to do the same.
The issue about syncing up the libraries is a real one, but I'll make it a point going forward to intimate everyone on this list whenever there's a change to the API, so we can all update our respective libraries. Works well for you? And thanks for releasing your library! ~Prashant On Aug 13, 6:05 am, devendra devendra <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I was thinking that somebody will answer or at least comment on my question, > but it looks nobody has the clear answer. > > By the way, how is the porting of java client library going on in other > languages?
