New schema.org release (sdo-venkman) candidate for review

Hi all

Short version: we think we're pretty much done with a new release, see
http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/docs/releases.html#sdo-venkman


Followers of schema.org may have noticed that we haven't made a new release
of the site since mid-September. However if you have been following along on
Github you'll notice that we have been busy integrating quite a few proposals
and fixes. These are available in Git and as a test site as "sdo-venkman"(*).

Pending changes are recorded in docs/releases.html:

http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/docs/releases.html#sdo-venkman

The underlying schemas, examples, code all lives in Github at:

https://github.com/danbri/schemaorg/tree/sdo-venkman

There are still a few issues we hope to address before publishing these
changes, see https://github.com/rvguha/schemaorg/issues for details. In
particular, we expect to address https://github.com/rvguha/schemaorg/issues/148
(VideoGameSeries). We also solicit advice on the proposed type for dated
monetary values - see
http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/docs/releases.html#dated-money
... as we are not sure whether DatedMoneyValue would be better than the
current proposal of DatedMoneyspecification. Former is shorter, latter is closer
to some existing type names.

Comments are welcome as always here or in Github (file an issue there
for bugs or comment in an existing entry), or anywhere in the Web that
has a URL.

Since this update will cover a lot of topics, please  re-title the
mail thread to indicate more specific topics. This is a large set of changes so
there are bound to be a few bugs. If we can steer comments towards specifics
and away from re-opening design earlier discussions that would help in
getting these improvements published.

Many thanks for your perspective,

cheers,

Dan,
for schema.org.
