To develop I2O software requires an NDA; the group will not make the spec publically available. Obviously, this is bad for free software, so we ought to campain the I2O group to release the spec. See http://www.i2osig.com for info. Their address and phone is:
I2O Special Interest Group 404 Balboa Street San Francisco, CA 94118 Tel: +1 415 750 8352 Fax: +1 415 751 4829
