Following up on the discussions at the recent hackathon, OpenSocial 0.7's API specification has been finalized. The best news is that, based on numerous discussions with both app developers as well as container sites, we believe OpenSocial 0.7 has all the necessary pieces to launch OpenSocial apps to users at scale. In fact, both hi5 and orkut will be using OpenSocial 0.7 for their upcoming user-facing launches.
This API iteration represents significant enhancements to 0.6; in particular, viral-spread functions and activity stream templating have been introduced to support the needs of app developers. In addition, the gadgets specification and the emerging gadgets.* JavaScript API have been codified, and include details about letting containers cleanly support different views (e.g. profile or canvas).
You can review the complete details in the release notes, and the OpenSocial 0.7 JavaScript Reference. We've gone to great lengths to ensure that OpenSocial 0.7 is much more stable than prior API iterations, and, going forward, we're working towards smoother API transitions (e.g. deprecation, a wrapper JS, etc).
If you have any questions about the API, please speak up in the group.
