Hey, good to hear from you. Also nice to hear there's some .Net interest. Negroni is being hosted on Google Code here: http://code.google.com/p/negroni/
Myspace is not actively contributing any longer, but the implementation is available under the Apache license. I have also moved on to other items and have not been actively maintaining the project, so it's a little out of date. Negroni is not an "out of the box" OpenSocial container like Shindig, but rather a fast parsing engine that has an OpenSocial Gadget parser written on top of it and the basic hooks to tie into APIs that can hydrate the .Net based OpenSocial data contracts. I'd be happy to help you get started with this code base if you are interested in trying to move it forward and get a good .Net OpenSocial option available in the market. -- clc On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 9:42 AM, Ryan Baxter <[email protected]> wrote: > Welcome Llya! > > Have you taken a look at Negroni [1]?
