Hey everyone, As a followup to Kevin's note about starting to work on implementing OpenSocial v0.8 functionality, I wanted to let you all know that we now have draft spec documents available for review. Further details about that below. Remember all comments about spec changes belong on the spec discussion group: http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec
That said, I'm looking forward to pushing OpenSocial that much further by getting these updates implemented in Shindig. In addition, for those of you local to the San Francisco bay area, or looking to travel a bit, you're more than welcome to come attend next Wednesday's OpenSocial Summit (May 14): http://opensocialapis.blogspot.com/2008/05/wednesdays-opensocial-summit-detailed.html Detailed Agenda: https://docs.google.com/View?docID=dds2mvj3_1vxvsnzfd&revision=_latest RSVP form: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pKy6PfiaRD2NIEhpx692Oaw Cheers, -Dan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, May 9, 2008 at 6:27 PM Subject: Ready for review: Complete drafts of OpenSocial v0.8 and related spec updates To: opensocial-and-gadgets-spec < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi folks, As discussed last week, the full draft of OpenSocial v0.8 specification is ready for your review. This draft specification includes updates to existing specs, inclusion of the RESTful spec, release notes, and detailed JavaScript doc (JSDoc). The intent was to clearly capture all of the 40+ changes/additions that we have developed on this mailing list since version 0.7 of the spec (as tracked in http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pigtmOB55Aw_YJHz040u0Kg&gid=0 ). Let's use the next week or two to make improvements to these docs and then we can lock down 0.8. You can find all 6 of these documents uploaded into the "Files" section of this Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec/files?&sort=name The draft documents published are (please note that some of the links in the files might not work as this is only a staged copy): - 1 - OpenSocial 0.8 Release Notes - 2 - OpenSocial 0.8 Specification - 3 - OpenSocial 0.8 RESTful API Specification - 4 - gadgets Specification - Canonical gadgets XSD - Extended gadgets XSD - gadgets Message Bundle XSD - 5 - opensocial.* 0.8 JS doc - 6 - gadgets.* JS doc I have conveniently numbered these documents so it is easier for you to walk through them in a clear order. In addition, documents 1 through 4 have their additions/updates highlighted for ease of reference. To better organize detailed feedback for each document, I will now start a thread for each of the 6 documents. Please be sure to direct your feedback to the appropriate thread. Also, as a reminder, this coming Wednesday, May 15, we'll be holding an OpenSocial Summit in Mountain View, California. This event is an ideal opportunity to discuss this draft specification, propose ideas for future iterations, and learn about the latest happenings in the community -- as well as get to know each other in person. You can learn more about the event at: http://opensocialapis.blogspot.com/2008/05/opensocial-summit-may-14th-at.html The agenda is here: https://docs.google.com/View?docID=dds2mvj3_1vxvsnzfd (RSVP is here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pKy6PfiaRD2NIEhpx692Oaw ) Looking forward to your feedback (in the appropriate thread ;), -Dan
