Relevant developer news such as the launch of new city APIs and app contests will be broadcast on the blog, mailing list, and Twitter. We have also been holding conference calls about once a month to discuss issues with the API spec and to provide updates and feedback about implementations in different cities. The next call is tentatively scheduled for mid to late March and will be announced through the aforementioned channels.
The wiki is the main place for documentation. The current Open311 API specification being implemented in cities like San Francisco can be found there.
We have not yet established the developer mailing list. For now, you can use the Open311 Discuss List for general purposes.
#open311 on irc.freenode.net. You can also use the web interface at http://webchat.freenode.net/
Relevant developer news will also be broadcast via the Open311 Twitter account.
Common Open311 code libraries and other source code will be distributed with the Open311 account on Github. You can also find a variety of existing open source Open311 projects linked on the wiki that have their own code repositories and developer resources associated with them. Many of these are ready for implementation of the API. If you are interested in integrating the Open311 API into these existing applications, we encourage you to mention it on the mailing list to avoid duplicated effort.
