>Social Ecology, in cooperation with nonprofit and for profit
>partners, first developed the Lightweight Donation Data Exchange
>(LDDX) protocol this Spring. It reached version 1.0 in April. The
>current version is 1.02. The purpose of the protocol is the exchange
>of donation information. In several settings over the last three
>months (including the ASP-OSS meeting in Ann Arbor) I expressed my
>desire to hand this over to the nonprofit community and interested
>parties. Although there is not yet a nonprofit organizaion offering
>to facilitate standards setting in general, this release of LDDX is
