Abdera is a Java only project, so it's functionality would have re-
implemented in other languages, or other toolkits could be chosen for
those languages.
In its self thats not a reason not to use it though, i don't think
there's any toolkits that could work in both PHP and Java, and as
David Primmer pointed out, it's a relatively separate from the gadget
server, so it doesn't impact it's status. It just means that on the
PHP side i'll have to start from scratch, which would be the case
anyway :)

It's great that you are going to try to contribute to Shindig, thank
you for
your interest!
I would like to put this up to the community though, do we think
Shindig
should start creating scaffolding and eventually implement the in
progress
restful api spec? And if so, should it be on a branch or in the main
code
base?
It would also be good to have a quick design discussion to see how
best this
could integrate with the java and php versions. I'm not up on php at
all so
perhaps someone who is can comment on how abdera might integrate with
multiple languages.
Thanks.

A group of us at Google have decided to try to implement the RESTful
Data API portion of the Shindig reference implementation with the
Atom
framework Abdera. I believe this has been called the 'gateway
server'.
We will implement whatever is decided on at
http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec.
We are hoping there will be an initial draft spec posted there soon.
Still, we can start now, before the wire formats are finalized, by
getting the basic servlets going and establish a place for people to
try out features. I wanted to send this initial message to the list
to
let everyone know our intentions and start a discussion of what we
plan on doing. We have a few months experience using Abdera and with
the 0.4 release coming soon, now is a perfect time to kick off this
effort.
