Hi Waldemar,
Actually 'OpenSocial' doesn't use any external javascript libraries like
prototype or jQuery.
The container (the website surrounding the gadget) can of course use some
library, but since the gadget resides in an iframe this doesn't affect the
gadget at all.
If you want to create your own social site (and not a gadget) then you could
implement the gadget <> container RPC calls however you like, using any
library you like, as long as you register your RPC hooks using:
gadgets.rpc.register('resize_iframe', mySetHeight);
gadgets.rpc.register('set_pref', mySetUserPref);
gadgets.rpc.register('set_title', mySetTitle);
gadgets.rpc.register('requestNavigateTo', myRequestNavigateTo);
