OpenSocial… 50% there

I’m starting to really see the gaps in OpenSocial.  That is, the difference between 0.5 and 1.0.  I think a lot of people are forgetting that this is not even a complete spec.  For example, as a OpenSocial application you need to have a notion of “streams”, which in turn have an idea of “folders” in which you create new actions.  The REST API makes no mention of this abstraction.  The purpose of these streams are pretty fuzzy too.

So, who is writing the last 0.5 of the API?  And when can we get the next piece?
