Hi,

I need some help locating the code for Google Gadgets ( http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/). I don't see it in platform/xwiki-applications or platform/xwiki-plugins (in http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/).

http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/?viewer=code & http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/Macros?viewer=code & http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/GadgetsDirectory?viewer=... You'll see that the second page is called in the first through an #includeMacros() call.

Also what is it : an application, plugin, component ? (combination of them?)

It's made of only 3 wiki pages, thus it's an application.

Is it implemented as a container that supports the original gadgets API. How about the Open Social API ? (as the project specifies, they should both be implemented)

From looking at the code, it looks much simpler than that. Basically, the gagdget is included in the page and displayed in a wiki panel, without any advanced integration. I'm not sure of what more the OpenSocial API would require.

I think it would be nice to allow users to add gadgets/open social gadgets to the sidebar as well, not only on the Dashboard page. What do you think ?

Indeed, that would be a good idea. Guillaume
