OpenSocial Specification Roadmap

Introduction

In the interests of release predictability and transparency, here is the roadmap for current and future OpenSocial specification development.

For each major release of OpenSocial, we will publish an Implementor's Draft where all major specification changes will be incubated until such time that the community has made significant implementations of these incubating changes and provided feedback. While there is wide agreement in principal, the Community still needs to define and vote on this new process.  Once established it will be documented in the specification process.

The OpenSocial Foundation will plan for a yearly specification release cadence on the OpenSocial specification.

OpenSocial 2.5

Themes for OpenSocial 2.5

1. Targeted cleanup and de-incubation of major changes introduced in OpenSocial 2.0
