The future of Project SocialSite: Apache?
Since January, the future of Project SocialSite has been in the hands of the SocialSite community. During that time, I continued working on the project almost because I think it's got great potential and I would really like to see it live on in some form. That's also why I continued to talk to Sun about the project.
Today, I'm very happy to announce that Sun Microsystems
is willing to contribute Project SocialSite to the Apache Software Foundation. It's not clear whether SocialSite should be contributed into Shindig or as a new incubator project, but either way I think this is the best thing for the project and will give it the best possible chances for building a thriving community. I've started some discussions about this on Apache-private mailing lists and I'll let you know what happens next.
This post brings to an end my series of posts about Shindig for blogs and wikis. Here are links to the earlier posts:

I've been exploring Shindig for the past month. I've seen posts in the Shindig dev mailing list from other developers like me who are trying to leverage the Shindig gadget container to produce gadget dashboards similiar to iGoogle and JIRA. Chris Chabot has stated in the mailing lists (I'm paraphrasing here) that Shindig is focused provide gadget and OpenSocial services for clients and servers but the UI is not Shindig's focus.
I stumbled across SocialSite yesterday and thought the project may be picking up where Shindig leaves off. After reading your blog posts, I get the sense I may be right. Is SocialSite something I should consider using if I want to build a gadget container UI in an application? If SocialSite can be leveraged to help construct a gadget container UI then I'd be very interested in participating in the project. In the meantime, should I use what is out on java.net to continue my evaluation?
Regards,Jason
