[xwiki-devs] GSoC 2008 : Project Idea - Gadget, Media and Content sites integration

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi Shanika,

If you are strong in Java, I'm not sure the Gadget project is the best 
one for you.
Gadget project is a lot of macros and working with existing web sites.
Only java part is OpenSocial server side (Shindig) but will require a 
lot of Javascript.

The Gadget project should also be a lot about fun UI for users to be 
able to embed a Gadget (for example create a panel with a gadget etc..)

However do make one or more proposal to do something in XWiki.
