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):

Great stuff.
"There is a rather unfortunate mismatch between OpenSocial Gadgets and
W3C Widgets from the Web Applications WG [WIDGETS]
<http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/XGR-socialweb/#ref-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]
<http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/XGR-socialweb/#ref-wookie>.
I'm not parsing the "ideally" part of this sentence. What is the ideal
the W3C want?
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."
Does that mean DAP could theoretically provide access to single users
social graph based on someones phonebook?
The report is due to be formally published on Thursday.
Any chance they can make it "Apache Wookie (Incubating)" to avoid any
embarrassment?
