The recent launch of the Google Gadgets gives me an idea...

Launchpad URLs that only return the pure XHTML of a portlet


Sites like upstart.ubuntu.com can then just have a piece of JS to fetch
that portlet code, and write it into the document; and use its own CSS
to style it.


So I could just do something like:

<script>
include_portlet ("/products/upstart", "latest_bugs")
</script>

That could expand to an AJAX fetch of
https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/@@portlet/latest_bugs (invented
URL) which would return just the "Latest 5 bugs in upstart" portlet
XHTML code.

And then it'd document.write that into the web page at that point.


Alternatively it could be just done with SSI and cached.
