A group of us at Google have decided to try to implement the RESTful Data API portion of the Shindig reference implementation with the Atom framework Abdera. I believe this has been called the 'gateway server'. We will implement whatever is decided on at http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec.
We are hoping there will be an initial draft spec posted there soon. Still, we can start now, before the wire formats are finalized, by getting the basic servlets going and establish a place for people to try out features. I wanted to send this initial message to the list to let everyone know our intentions and start a discussion of what we plan on doing. We have a few months experience using Abdera and with the 0.4 release coming soon, now is a perfect time to kick off this effort. davep reference links: http://incubator.apache.org/abdera/ http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/dataapis.html
