I think it will be something like CAJA
Is part of shindig but also a separated project ,
Perhaps we can start it as part of shindig and we its mature we just
branch it
My 2 cents

Hey Guys, a question for you all.
I'm currently working on a example container / SNS. The main reason
for it being that i need some small parts of the code anyhow for my
work, and i thought while I'm at it, why not make a real test case
for the PHP shindig gadget & social data server ... there's nothing
like a 'real life' type situation to really test your code right :)
The goal is not to make a complete 'open source SNS', though i guess
it could serve as a base for it at some point, but more to have all
the basic open social activities represented in it, so a social
graph (with all the open social defined profile fields), activity
streams and gadgets of course :) (Adding more functionality would be
easy, but for now would take to much time away from my actual
shindig work)
Now i'll release this code as open source, since i think it will be
useful in many ways, first of all it might serve as an example on
how to use shindig in a SNS to some, or even as a basis for new
sites but it also makes a great testbed for both us shindig server
developers (since the java and php versions are wire format
compatible you could use either to power the gadgets / social data
part of it), could be used to show case our work (once we have a
zone or something equally adequate to host such a showcase), and is
probably a blessing for gadget developers too where they could
develop locally and privately on their own local development SNS.
So my question is, shall i release this as my own project (no
problem, i have my own servers to host the pages and showcases on,
and can put the code on google code), or would it make sense to put
this under the 'shindig' name / and in the shindig repo and make it
an 'official part of the shindig project'. I'm asking since making a
demo SNS is a bit outside of the scope of the project definition
("shindig is an open source implementation of the open social
specification and gadget specification", but on the other hand it
Just-Makes-Sense(Tm) to have it in the shindig repo too :)
I'd love your opinions on this.
