The gadget rendering server exposes metadata about gadgets (to facilitate the generation of iframes, security tokens,etc.) through the /gadgets/metadata service (admittedly, lacking documentation). Integrating social data isn't quite as clean at this point in time though, and you'd have to implement your own opensocial-0.7 feature if you wanted to use anything other than Java or PHP. This should be cleaned up once the opensocial js starts using the opensocial RESTful protocol, at which point you'll just have to implement the receiving end. > > * > * > On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 11:45 PM, Kevin Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 11:04 AM, Will Rodriguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > > Very new to this and I wanted to know the following. > > > > > > > > > 1.
