I don't know what the spec says, but I can tell you the implementation in Orkut stores it once for all instances. I believe that's the desired behavior. If you need to disambiguate data stored in a specific instance, you can use the ownerId in the appdata key.
Very early versions of the OpenSocial spec offered three different types of app data stores (including a global store that wasn't per user, and was read-only). -- Adam On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 12:19 PM, Jordan Zimmerman <jord...@shop.com> wrote: > I posted this to the OS NG, but haven't gotten a response.
