Subject: 0.8.1 Proposals & Timeline
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I've created the threads in which we can discuss and vote for the
various topics that are currently being discussed for the 0.8.1
release of the OpenSocial specification.

Please try to use those threads for your comments, feedback and votes,
so we can keep track of the status of each issue.

Since there are a lot of people who are eager to see 0.8, i propose we
try to keep to a quick turn-around time and aim to have our
discussions and votes done within a week. That means we'll close these
threads (for 0.8.1) and count our votes at the end of July 29th 2008.
If we can't reach consensus on some of these issues within that week,
they are probably best left for 0.9.

Our usual voting rules apply here, a proposal needs 5 +1 and no -1
votes to be considered part of the new specification.

The topics for 0.8.1 are (in random order):

Content-Rewrite feature:

I look forward to seeing the discussions & I hope this will lead to a
much stronger 0.8 release!
