Good point.  We haven't really documented the general architecture well.  While 
it is a little in flux, I think it is stable enough to support a high-level 
description. (I will create a ticket for this)

Was there something specific you were looking for?  

>- differences/improvements of rave-shindig vs. shindig

The goal of Rave-shindig is to provide default SPI implementations and 
abstractions of those SPIs that tie neatly back to core Rave functionality.  
This will allow implementers to more easily integrate custom implementations 
for retrieval and storage of common data.

That being said, we aren't there yet.

>- how to develop custom widgets

Rave supports two widget specifications at the moment:  OpenSocial [1] via 
Shindig and W3C [2] via Wookie.  Developing a widget that conforms to either 
should be all you need to get it integrated in Rave.

[2] :  http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/

We have a goal of embedding sets of Rave widgets in other apps, but don't have 
anything substantial quite yet.  If you have specific desires for how this 
would work, we would love to hear them (or better yet, have you help work on 
them)
