Weekly (ha!) community update, week ending 9th August 2012

I hadn't realised how long it was since my last community update (and holidays have got in the way, so I'm playing catchup). There has been lots going on, both with the Dart language, and out in the development community.
Big news items are

• there is a suite of Google APIs for Dart available to play with: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dart-client/wiki/APIs,
• you can track the M1 language changes on the Dartlang website,
• Code reviews for building Dart VM for Android are starting to appear

Also, don't forget to watch Dartisans episode 9, where you can find out about Mirrors and Isolates.
