Official announcements will be made at http://igoogledeveloper.blogspot.com/
and http://orkutdeveloper.blogspot.com/ for all significant changes or
additions. This group is also a good place to lurk.

Like you followed up, the source is available, but in an incomplete
form. I have an assignment to get the entire thing "productionized"
this quarter, so hopefully you'll see some updates to that project in
the next couple of weeks :)

Thanks, we'll take a look at it.

Yeah, although if you're writing any JS at all, there's always the
chance that some browser will choke on something. For example, this
notation:
var data = {
"key" : "value",
};
fails in IE while working in most other browsers (the comma after
"value" is at fault here). To get around writing any JS at all, some
people have found some success at using GWT to write gadgets.
Theoretically, you could write an app entirely in Java using Servlets
and GWT (and utilizing Proxied Content and OSML) but I haven't seen
any samples put all of it together in a really easy-to-use framework
yet.
