Hi, all
An unsolved problem with shindig installation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shindig works quite well in our gadget server. One problem is caja
integration. It seems that gadget features "tabs" and "minimessage"
use caja (via function html_sanitize) and caja sometimes produces
syntax-incorrect html/javascript which cannot be rendered in browser.
I guess it is the problem of caja instead of Shindig. I just wonder
whether you guys have encountered the same problem. My current
solution is to disable caja.
OGCE gadget layout manager
------------------------------------------
We have built an *Open Source* gadget layout manager with Shindig
as backend to render gadgets. It is a subproject of OGCE
(http://www.collab-ogce.org/ogce/index.php/OGCE_Gadget_Container). Our
goal is to build science portals using web2.0 and gadget technologies.
Basically, it provides iGoogle-like interfaces, but provides more
neat features.
For release notes, see this post -
http://collab-ogce.blogspot.com/2009/11/ogce-gadget-container-release.html
.
Basic features include:
* Several gadgets pre-configured in the build, including RSS
readers, GMail, Google Talk, TeraGrid status monitoring gadgets, and
more.
* Support for Social Networking using Google Friend Connect.
* Embedded Apache Shindig container.
* Support for OAuth-secured gadgets.
* Support for OpenID login.
* Administration interfaces.
* Alternate layouts (tree layout, tab layout) and skins.
* Drag-and-drop gadget layouts.
* Layout data export and import
Additionally, we provide REST interfaces to manipulate user layout
data:

Support for Friend Connect gadgets:

Support for OpenID login:

Installation procedure is described here:
http://www.collab-ogce.org/ogce/index.php/OGCE_Gadget_Container. It's
quite easy to install it with maven. Just two commands. I encourage
you to try it out.
Additionally, we set up a demo site at
https://gf18.ucs.indiana.edu:7443/ishindig-webapp. You can give it a
try without installing your instance.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Best,
Gerald
