-Apache Wookie is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a
further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF
projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has

+How does it work
+----------------
+
+Administrators can upload Widgets packaged according to the W3C Widgets
+specification. Wookie makes these available to applications using a REST API.
+These widgets can then be hosted in a container application such as Drupal,
+Wordpress, Moodle, Elgg or any other web based system.
+
+Container applications may have a plugin that communicates with the Wookie
server
+and enables users to pick widgets from a gallery. These are then added to user
+pages by the container application.
+
+Wookie provides Connector Framework for many different programming
+languages that simplifies the process of writing these interfaces between your
+chosen container and Wookie where one does not already exist.
