Hey Parrott, I think there is a slight confusion in expectations here. Shindig is the software that renders (opensocial gadgets), but not a social site or portal system ... to speak in flawed metaphors: it's only the engine that does one certain thing (rendering gadgets), but you still have to build a card around it :)
In other words, if your looking for something that is 'a website, including user registration, authentication and portal management', then shindig is not at all what your looking for I'm afraid, since it doesn't do any of those things. Maybe someone on the list does have a reference for you if they have experience with what opensource systems are available for this, but I'm afraid that I personally don't. -- Chris On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 3:25 PM, Parrott, Justin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I appreciate the response and I guess the 'social' aspect might actually > be something I will need.
