That would be real nice.. have been under the impression that Shindig requires
Java,
perhaps due to historical impression from day 1 of Shindig... Thanks Dan..
cheers!

Mightbe a little off topic -
Can we remove the Java dependency going forward? It made the whole
Shindig package unuseable -- because a lot of people don't like to use
Java,
while yes I know there're still a lot of Java fans.. but non-fans are far
more.
Hey Aaron,
Have you see the PHP version of Shindig? Shindig itself is not intended to
be tied to a given language.
