Hi devs, Following the implementation of gadgets we'd need to discuss the approach of implementing xwiki as an open social container (also see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HXWikiasOpenSo… for the discussion). There are 2 approaches that can be used: Short story: Option A): open social gadgets are imported as xwiki macros (one macro for each imported gadget), the xwiki dashboard works with macros as gadgets, to publish the xwiki macros as gadgets we provide an automatic transformation of xwiki macros in open social gadgets XML definition Option B): dashboard accepts a single macro inside, the {{gadget}} macro, which will specify a reference to the gadget to display (URL to XML if it's open social, page reference if it's xwiki gadget) and the parameters, there would be a mechanism to automatically publish these xwiki pages as gadgets (to be used either by this {{gadget}} macro or by other containers). Long story (also discussing possible approaches for subproblems, and also containing some pros & cons): Option A) See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HProposalA-Gad… Option B) See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HProposalB-All… WDYT? Do you think there are other possible approaches that should be added to this list before the vote? What do you think would be more suitable? Some usage scenarios are documented at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/GadgetIntegration#HScenarios . Please, if you feel the list is not complete, contribute your usecases.
