No, the last bit doesn't make sense. I'll let the editor know. >> 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? Yes. It has been suggested that some APIs from OpenSocial and Wave should be submitted to DAP and/or merged with DAP APIs. We did also at one point propose to W3C a "collaboration" API based on the first Wookie shared data API (which we later overlaid with the Wave Gadget API). If Wave enters the incubator this might be worth reviving. > >> The report is due to be formally published on Thursday. > > Any chance they can make it "Apache Wookie (Incubating)" to avoid any > embarrassment?
