Preparing for next schema.org release

It's time to start turning the handles that generate new schema.org releases.

One of those is collecting up quick fixes and easy wins, from our
large collection of work-in-progress open issues over at Github:
http://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues

There is a draft release, not yet a release candidate, at
http://sdo-deimos.appspot.com/docs/releases.html and an associated
tracking issue for the release at
https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/911 (findable as always
via #1).

We had a few aspirations for this release, only some of which have
been met. The two areas where we have had substantive / complex
proposals, decent discussion, but no solid resolution yet are around
Hotels and Opening Hours. It would be good if more members of the
schema.org community group could take a look at those topics and help
nudge things towards rough consensus. This is in addition to
identifying as many un-addressed quick fix possibilities as possible.
We can coordinate via the #911 issue in Github and this mail thread.

I suggest we give it a week or so discussing online (github and email)
then aim to wrap things up via an audio teleconference
(phone/skype/hangouts, whichever seems most convenient). Let's aim to
make a new release of schema.org that captures our progress during
March 2016...

cheers,

Dan
