The compliance tests will be hosted on the spec website. I do not feel that we will need to bring in snapshots into the shindig project because it ill most likely just be a gadget that your container needs to run.
However, the sample container and the soon to be written server backed opensocial container definitely need tests in shindig because they are very buggy! So it would be great to get some real tests for data into it. - Cassie On Tue, Feb 12, 2008 at 4:35 AM, Kevin Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Feb 12, 2008 3:51 AM, Reinoud Elhorst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Thanks Paul, > > > > I was about to suggest creating something like this!
