Hello, I'm hoping someone else can help respond to my inquiring about integration options of XWiki with Sakai. Guillaume Lerouge had responded with 3 options (thank you Guillaume). I was interested in learning more about one of the options, which I couldn't find any mention of on XWiki.org. This is the option: - Expose XWiki through gadgets and keep the wiki separated from Sakai
I found mention of a GSOC project to add gadget capability to XWiki, but I could not see anything about exposing XWiki as a gadget. This option is of interest as the next major release of Sakai is looking to support Shindig (OpenSocial) which would make supporting gadgets and possibly XWiki a lot easier and provide a good road map for support in Sakai3. Any feedback would be appreciated.
