Current Focus
Language Bindings
Publish and maintain a clear list of language bindings to the Symphony LLC REST API and implementation of the Extension API. This is inclusive of endpoint coverage and UI module integration in the container.
SDK & Frameworks
Development kits and frameworks that support development and implement well defined use cases. This is inclusive of both application (bot) and UI module development in the container. Catalogue features between like solutions.
Use Cases and Benefits
Defined collaboration use cases through both design and example (bots, UI modules, workflows). Create a clear index of possible use cases to existing solutions that consumers can benefit from.
Extensions
Integration of external standard frameworks and services such as Lex, Google Assist, MS, Bot interfaces, and UI solutions.
Testing and Best Practices
Required tests to validate developed solutions. Can be based on specific workflows, use cases or individual feature.
Culture and Support
Foster a community of SME’s that can offer help on the implementation of solutions available that implement the Symphony LLC platform feature set.

Charter
**Note: The current charter was based on the original discussion around both best practices using REST and integration of Symphony LLC APIs. The group has morphed into the focus items listed to the left. The original charter will be evaluated at a later date and is not critical to the success of the working group itself.
This working group focuses on the APIs of the Symphony platform, to enable server-side integrations with 3rd party technologies. See detailed charter.
The Working Group was ratified by the ESCo on December 9th, 2016.
The group chose to discontinue operations on April 20th, 2018.
