Hello Scott, Ross and the rest of wookie development team,
I 've seen that Thomas replied giving some info regarding the elgg
plugin and I will try to share with the rest of the community what
we have done -or plan to do- regarding wookie development.
We are currently developing a widget store that it is based in the
wookie engine. This will include users accounts, tagging,
commenting, rating, each widget to have its own "profile" page etc.
.
This is a really interesting area, and is something we want to pursue
in ITEC too.
Indeed, his is something a great many people are interested in.
Ross suggested having a Wookie sub-project just for a
widget store implementation with these features. Would that be of
interest?
To be precise, I was suggesting a sub-project for the back-end systems,
i.e. no out of the box GUI. This is the same as my proposal for Wookie
itself.
The GUI, as Scott suggested, should be a bunch of widgets that can allow
custom GUIs to be built using platform capable of hosting widgets. We
would provide a reference implementation using Apache Rave.
This would result in something like:
App Store User Apps
