Hello all,

I apologize for spamming the list - I dug through the archives and perused the 
website, but couldn't really find a central point of contact for the project, 
so as long as I can converse with one person, the rest of you are free to 
ignore me. :P

My name is Shannon.  I am participating in the 2008 rendition of GSoC, working 
with the Joomla CMS community to make it an OpenSocial container.  However, 
after several conversations with my Joomla advisor, and several looks back at 
some of the other GSoC projects I'd almost applied for, Shindig captured our 
attention for many reasons.

I was wondering if I could be a bit more present in this community by way of 
working to make Joomla an OpenSocial container through integrating it with 
Shindig.  I know there is currently an issue of licensing - Joomla uses the 
GPLv2 license, which is incompatible with the Apache 2.0 license.  However, I 
understand that Joomla will be moving to GPLv3 very soon, which is apparently 
much friendlier with Apache's license.

That's pretty much my shpiel.  Feedback, comments, and general suggestions are 
very much much welcome; in fact, I'd love to hear back with thoughts from 
anyone.  Any direction from the experts is appreciated!

Thank you!

Regards,
Shannon Quinn
