I see how to make a simple OpenSocial app.  Now, to start doing things
that are more interesting, how do I interface with my existing website
and database?  I already an existing website, and want to use
OpenSocial as an additional mechanism by which users can interact with
the content and functionality I already offer.

I don't see the "approved" way to do this - a couple thoughts:

Should I wait for the OpenSocial Data API's?  How will that work?  The
current documentation shows that we write our apps as Google Gadgets,
and all the code runs client-side.  To use the data apis, will we
specify some sort of callback function somewhere a la facebook?

Alternately, perhaps I can embed an iframe in the Content section of
the gadget, pointing towards custom-built pages on my site.  Though, I
still don't know how to handle authentication.  Will I need to build
my own system to handle that?

Thanks for any input!
