That's great! :)
I think it'll make things a lot easier to the new orkut developers.
Best!

> *What is *OrkutDevBox*?*
> OrkutDevBox is an OpenSocial code playground for Orkut. It allows
> developers to write and test OpenSocial snippets "on the fly" to experiment
> with Orkut's API without having to go through the edit-upload-test cycle.
> Main highlights:
>
> - run code with one click
> - runs code against the live Orkut environment: prod, prod-sandbox and
> sandbox
> - console to output debug messages
> - supports on-the-fly creation of HTML interfaces
> - code samples for most important Orkut features available with 1 click
> - (total of 15 Orkut samples integrated into app)
> - often-used OpenSocial code snippets can be picked from a list and
> directly inserted into code
>
> *What Samples are available?
> *
> The following samples are available in the application:
>
> 1. Show Viewer and Owner Names
> 2. Show Viewer Info
> 3. List 20 Friends
> 4. List 20 Friends with Pictures
> 5. List All Friends
> 6. AppData Load and Save
> 7. Posting an Activity
> 8. Posting an Activity with Modal Notification
> 9. Send Private Message
> 10. Requesting Data From Remote Servers
> 11. Listing Albums
> 12. Creating Album
> 13. Update Albums
> 14. Mosaic with All Photos
> 15. Handling Errors
>
>
> *Didn't we already have a code playground (OpenSocial DevApp)?*
> Yes. But OrkutDevBox is developed by the Orkut team and is focused on Orkut
> and comes with Orkut-specific features and sample code. Also, it has some
> unique features such as the ability to insert often-used OpenSocial snippets
> from a "snippets pallete", and, apart from Javascript, it can also "run"
> HTML UIs created on the fly.
> *
> *
> *Do I have to be on Sandbox to use OrkutDevBox?*
> OrkutDevBox works in production, prod sandbox and sandbox, so you can test
> your code against any of those environments.
>
> *How do I install it?*
> You can install
> OrkutDevBox<http://www.orkut.com/Application?appId=876096229684>like any
> other orkut app.
> *
> *
> *Does it save my code?
> *
> No, it does not. It is intended to be used to write quick experimental
> snippets, not to write full applications, but you can of course copy and
> paste your code and save elsewhere.
>
>
> We hope you like this app. Feel free to send any feedback!
>
> Thank you!
