Just a heads up for anyone who is interested - Wookie gets a mention in the 
draft final report from the W3C Social Web Incubator Group (XG):

http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/XGR-socialweb/

"There is a rather unfortunate mismatch between OpenSocial Gadgets and W3C 
Widgets from the Web Applications WG [WIDGETS], given that both are primarily 
based on top of HTML and Javascript. Currently there is work being undertaken 
by the Apache Wookie project to provide interoperability between W3C Widgets 
and OpenSocial Gadgets, although ideally in the future the W3C Widgets would 
either be adopted or work more closely with major vendors in the iteration 
[WOOKIE]. Also, W3C Working Groups like the DAP (Device Access Policy) Working 
Group are also producing APIs that involve contact information and so should 
ideally maintain some baseline compatibility with OpenSocial and 
PortableContacts."

(This partly follows from a phone interview on social widgets hosted by the XG 
involving myself and Marcos Caceres from Opera)

The report is due to be formally published on Thursday.
