Hi All,

*         I'm working to apply Bootstrap styling to rave's popup views via the 
open-views feature (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAVE-563).

*         The opensocial spec defines separate dialog and modaldialog view 
targets, but the wording is vague with respect to their specific differences 
(http://opensocial-resources.googlecode.com/svn/spec/trunk/Core-Gadget.xml#gadgets.views.ViewType.ViewTarget).

*         Interpreting the "spirit" of the spec, I would probably expect 
dialogs to be a moveable overlay that allow you to interact with the screen 
below, and of which multiple instances can be open at a time. A modal forces 
the user to resolve it before doing anything else, and only one instance may be 
open at a time. However...

*         Bootstrap offers only modal dialogs 
(http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals).

My suggested way forward is to implement both dialog and modaldialog view 
targets using bootstrap's modal, meaning that dialogs would not be moveable and 
would in practice be nearly the same as modals.  Does anyone have a better 
suggestion, or a use case where there is actual value in rave providing 
moveable dialog view targets?

Thanks,
Erin
