Hi Matthew, There are a number of open-source projects that use shindig which can be used as a more complete sample, on the php end of things the best example would be Partuza (http://code.google.com/p/partuza and live version available on www.partuza.nl), on the java end of things Sun's Social Site project is a great product and open-source: https://socialsite.dev.java.net/
Both of these can be used as a much more complete example of how to use shindig & do the back-end integration of shindig. Neither of those does drag-and-drop though, but compared to the nitty-gritty details of doing real back-end integration, I would personally classify that as 'easy', there are enough javascript libraries out there that have ready-made drag-and-drop examples, so adding something like that to something like partuza would be relatively simple. As far as the scope goes, shindig's focus is purely to be a implementation of the gadgets and OpenSocial specification, so any large scale 'site' projects are outside of it's scope. However if you make something really cool we'd be happy to tell people about it though :) Hope that helps, -- Chris On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 5:25 AM, Matthew Russell < [email protected]> wrote: > Hey all - > > Was wondering if anyone is aware of any OSS projects or anything out there > along those lines for more sophisticated containers than the ones in the > sample code?
