<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I just updated the API documentation, so it's down while github rebuilds the pages..should be back shortly.

<div>I have been assuming these are stable; one way to check would be to see if what function is producing it and what the input value is; it looks like a hash value, but it is unclear to me what input value is being used and what function generates them, or
 whether it might be called more than one time in response to particular events (although I would hope not!)  I guess one could trace this through the code, unfortunately the API documentation linked here appears to be broken, so I couldn’t check that  . .

<div class="">As to the ‘product owner’s group, I’d be interested to hear more about this.    My main exposure to the product owner concept is through agile/scrum methodology, where it has a very defined purpose and is always one person.  There is a decent
 overview here <a href="http://www.romanpichler.com/blog/one-page-product-owner/" class="">http://www.romanpichler.com/blog/one-page-product-owner/</a> and at the links, which I think is a reasonable summary of the role, although there are variations depending
 on which ‘flavor’ of agile/scrum is used.   Typically, it requires a person with a very specific skill set if it is to be properly executed with strong project management, UX, and customer/stakeholder relations skills and it is a full time staff position.
  Most scrum/agile books warn assume it is a single person or even warn against trying to make it a group, although sometimes a ‘product owner group' can take on defined task or work in advisory capacity to the product owner.</div>
