You might want to wait a few days (there should be a blog post on
opensocialapis.blogspot.com when it's ready). I think there are a few issues
that still need to be clarified.

You'd need to provide an opensocial-0.6 (or 0.7, depending on which version
you're supporting) js implementation that implements everything in the spec
using your own site's custom data, and then drop that into your local
features/ directory and load from there (or load it separately by adding it
to the web.xml config and point to wherever you have it loaded).

Since shindig isn't implementing opensocial-0.6 or 0.7 correctly yet, this
is the best you can do. You should probably use opensocial-samplecontainer
as a starting point to show you how to wire your data up to your back end
(bear in mind that this does not match the 0.7 spec -- you might just want
to start from scratch there).

"Soon" Shindig will have full support for opensocial-0.7 with hooks for you
to easily inject your own data. I can't give any timeline on this, but it is
a top priority for the project.
