Hi all, I've implemented a web site (http://www.heremypage.com/), which works like netvibes or igoogle (www.google.com/ig), the so called personalized home portal. The gadgets implementation are almost 80~90% compatible to google gadget APIs http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/overview.html. I believe that they can be a good foundation for jQuery based gadgets development, if continual development efforts are drawn to improve it by more developers.
Certainly it isn't up to date: The version of jQuery adopted is 1.2.2. The google gadget API spec was based on April's version There are also some quick hacks on the jquery library itself, in order to allow the communication between the child windows in gadgets' iframe and the TOP window -- the jQuery library is included only once in the home HTML page, with every child iframe's leverage the parent window's jquery object via the mentioned communication mechanism. It works, but I believe there should be some defects undetected. I'm new to open source community, let alone jQuery itself. I just wonder if HereMyPage's gadgets work is interested and welcome or not. Therefore, by this post, If someones out there are interested, drop me some comments, encouragements :-), I will then start to study how to create an open source project, maybe hosted at code.google.com (teach me how if you like). By the way, the web site of HereMyPage wasn't intended to be a commercial one, but for developer's playground, and far from completed as today. To test it, you have to use 'test1' or 'test2' as the username, '1111' as the password at this moment. The user registration and activation will be realized soon later. Don't blame me for its being very preliminary status. My own professional discipline is actually more on Linux Kernel & drivers, web development is a new skills to me and only as a hobby now.
