Are you referring to dragging of gadgets around a container page, or drag
within a gadget?

The former is implementation specific, and will probably never be in
shindig. Deployments using shindig (such as igoogle) may support this
functionality, but it's not part of shindig itself necessarily. Feel free to
submit a patch for the example container code that does this if you'd like.

Drag and drop within gadgets is another story. iGoogle supported a "drag"
feature (http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference.html#Ref_Drag),
but it is not going to be a part of the spec (
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/). Instead, the best
solution would be to use one of the many fine existing drag and drop
libraries out there already (YUI, dojo, etc.).

This doesn't preclude shindig from implementing the "drag" library in the
future, but at this point our efforts are around spec compliance and
ensuring that it is flexible enough to be used by real sites that want to
use it. Since there is no formal spec for "drag" (other than trying to clone
the existing igoogle implementation), it is being left out.
