In an google i/o 08 talk chis chabot mentions that you can integrate Shindig into your own site using the "metadata server": http://sites.google.com/site/io/apache-shindig-make-your-social-site-an-opensocial-container
He says you can POST the gadget, user etc. details to Shindig and it will return a rendered iframe and you can use to use Shindig within your own site and that this can be used for people wanting to develop in Python etc. (in my case, Ruby). I can't find any more information about this anywhere... basically, how would I run a opensocial application in my rails site? Is there any way of say implementing something in PHP or Java which would call the rails site for user etc. information via REST? Or do I just need to setup the database details in Shindig (the same DB my rails app connects to and stores user information) and write simple classes which return the information in PHP/Java and can just include these gadgets in my application as iframes?
