Hello Deter, In response to your questions:
1, 2, 3) We've had several external developers write working applications on the Orkut sandbox so far. Additionally, Ning and Plaxo both have environments where people have been able to develop OpenSocial based applications. However, we have been seeing issues, especially related to gadget latency that affect the number of errors certain people are seeing in the Orkut sandbox. Any information (request and response data from FireBug, your location, etc) you can supply can help us resolve these issues. Please send me an email with any additional information you can gather. 4.) We have some articles available at http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/articles/ that help with initial gadget development, and are working on more advanced tutorials that will explain structuring more sophisticated applications, as well as an Orkut developer guide that will explain the process of building an OpenSocial app on the Orkut platform. If you feel like documentation is lacking in any area, please submit a feature request on this page ( http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-api/web/opensocial-feature-requests ) and we will try and accommodate you. Keep in mind that this is a closed beta release. You are helping us identify and correct errors before we grant public access, so your feedback is a huge help!
