• Participation is open to anyone
• Decisions are made on the spec list (not behind closed doors)
• All proceedings are captured in a public archive
• Individuals represent themselves, not companies

For more details, see the OpenSocial Spec Process document.

What's the latest?
Right now, OpenSocial v0.9 is being defined and a list of current proposals is available on the wiki.
The best way to help shape the OpenSocial spec is to join the OpenSocial and Gadgets Spec discussion forum (or "spec list" for short) - a community where you can propose changes to the spec and discuss other peoples' proposals.  Before you start posting your own proposals, it's a good idea to read the OpenSocial Spec Process document to understand how changes are proposed, discussed, and voted on.

The Wiki
The OpenSocial Community Wiki is a collaborative effort to generate and organize content about OpenSocial.  In the wiki today, you'll find:

• An editable API Reference
• A list of OpenSocial containers
• Articles and tutorials
• Information on cross-container development
  
• Current spec changes
  

What's the latest?
The wiki was only released a few weeks ago, so there's still a lot of work to be done. We're need help writing code samples, and there's not a lot of content for container developers yet.

How do I get involved?
The wiki is open for edits by anyone - check out the Contributing page to see where you can help.  Discussions about wiki policy, extensions, and usage take place in the OpenSocial Community forum, so be sure to sign up if you want to help decide how we can best use the wiki.
