Proposal for 1.0: Complete basic Groups support

[Dave]

I just added the following 1.0 proposal to the wiki and to the spec
changes page (http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Spec_Changes).
This is not really a new feature, it is really more of a specification
bug fix that brings the JavaScript, OSAPI and JSON-RPC specifications
in line with what we can do in the REST protocol.

Synopsis:

Groups and group IDs are referenced in many of the APIs in OpenSocial
and because of this, core OpenSocial should include basic groups
support: ability to get a list of groups associated with a user. The
REST protocol already supports this, but support is missing in the
JavaScript, OSAPI and JSON-RPC protocol. This proposal fixes that
specification bug and brings the same level of group support that we
see in REST protocol to the rest of the APIs and protocols.

Proposal:

Thanks,
Dave

I just uploaded a patch that adds support for create, retrieve, update
and delete of Groups to the Social-Data, Social API Server and Social
Gadget specifications. Please the patch files here:
