Moving Modelling Opportunity data to Final Specification - a request

Hi,

As discussed in our recent calls I'm keen to move the Modelling Opportunity
Data spec [1] and vocabulary [2] to "Final Specification" status at the W3C.

I believe the specification is now stable and has been successfully
implemented by a number of publishers. We can continue to improve it
further but I'd like to reach this milestone before moving on to further
work.

The only area that may need some updates is around the handling of
recurring events. We have been in discussion with Schema.org for some time,
about a proposed set of changes [2] to cover this use case. I've been
waiting on approval for that proposal before moving forward.

However, if that doesn't move ahead shortly, then we'll need to revise our
specifications to define the relevant properties. These will be minor
changes to just document the properties that we're already recommending
people use [4].

The W3C process for publication is quite straight-forward. However I
believe I need to be able to demonstrate that the community is happy with
the deliverables and is ready to move forward for publication.

Can I ask that if you're happy with the specifications moving to "Final
Specification" status, pending resolution of the above issue, that you
reply to this email with a "+1" or "I approve" message.

Having the approval on a public list will help demonstrate support.

Similarly, if you have concerns or questions, then please share them with
the group so we can work through them.

Cheers,

L.
