Hi All,

In the following script:

features/src/main/javascript/features/shindig.container/shindig-container.js

... there is a script being inserted from iGoogle:

http://www.gmodules.com/ig/gadgetsettings

This "API" (I'll call it that for lack of a better term) generates the 
necessary HTML for displaying the gadget preferences.

As input, it needs the URL to a XML document conforming to the following 
specification:

https://developers.google.com/gadgets/docs/xml_reference

The assumption is that, after iGoogle is discontinued (1 November 2013), this 
API will no longer be available.

In any case, it is probably a good idea to get rid of this dependency.

I have seen some old posts about this dating back to 2009 / 2010, including the 
following:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1188

However, there does not appear to be a conclusion to this issue.

Currently, we are looking at implementing our own version of this API by using 
a custom Java Servlet.

Are there any existing open source implementations? Are there any other people 
working on this problem?

It would make sense to solve this problem for all users of Shindig instead of 
each reinventing the wheel.

Best Regards,
Charl
