I am writing code for my own use, so if it breaks, I can easily fix it. In other words I don't have a problem using undocumented features that might be changed / removed without notice. I recently started using PWA API and the biggest problem I have had is figuring out if a particular feature is not there or if I was doing something wrong. Javadocs for PhotoEntry, AclFeed and other such classes seem to suggest that these features are available when in reality they are not. Can you point me to the page that has ALL the features that are supported and NONE of the features that are not supported yet? Thanks for providing a free product and free support. I really appreciate it.
