At first, Shindig didn't seem to pass the compliance test gadget (default
url in our sandbox), but after adding one line to
features/opensocial-0.7/jsonperson.js to indicate the type of dateOfBirth,
it works:

JsonPerson.constructObject(opt_params, "dateOfBirth", Date);


Has this just been overlooked, or is this change somehow incorrect?


just an oversight(see the todo in the file :), i'll fix this.

Cool :-)


A lot of gadgets from opensocialdirectory.org and the photostatus sample (

http://opensocial-resources.googlecode.com/svn/samples/photostatus/trunk/photostatus.xml )
don't work as they require opensocial-0.5. Are the specs backwards
compatible, and if so, shouldn't Shindig handle opensocial-0.5 compatible
gadgets with the opensocial-0.7 implementation?


shindig supports 0.6 and 0.7 right now and will shortly also support 0.8 we don't have support for 0.5 cause the code wasn't written until 0.6 was already live. we could maybe write a js translation layer like we did for the 0.6 apis and put that into shindig so that we support 0.5 as well. i don't remember off hand what the diffs from 0.5 to 0.6 were but if it is
important to you guys you might want to give it a shot.

I don't think it's very important, and if the specs aren't backwards compatible I don't see a problem in requiring at least opensocial 0.6 for Netlog. Are there other directories of opensocial gadgets than opensocialdirectory.org ? It would be nice to be able to test our sandbox a little more...
