... and here is a first stab at the content.
=========
Wookie is a Java server application that allows you to upload and deploy
widgets for your applications. Wookie is based on the W3C Widgets
specification, but widgets can also be included that use extended APIs such as
Google Wave Gadgets and OpenSocial.
Wookie has been incubating since 17th July 2009
Since May 2011:
* Release 0.9 put out for vote
* Published a new CMS website with more documentation
* Achieved 100% Conformance to the W3C Widget Packaging & Configuration
specification
* Achieved 97% Conformance to the W3C Widgets Interface specification
* Added a Scratchpad area for experimental widgets and features
* Explored with Apache Rave(incubating) community and Wookie community
members idea of separate common "widget store" for handling metadata and
discovery of widgets. Rough consensus was to develop separately for now,
identify potential for merging later. Community members associated with two
EU-funded projects (ROLE and ITEC) have been developing Wookie-based widget
stores, and we hope to get their code submissions to kickstart this work.
* Many bug fixes and updates to main code branch
* Community members working on integrating W3C Widget support into Apache
Rave (incubating)
* Community members exploring Apache Amber (incubating) for oAuth support
within Wookie
Next steps:
* Finish 0.9.0 release and move onto a 0.9.1 release
* Continue to work and liase with Apache Rave project
* Continue exploration of using Apache Amber for oAuth support within
Wookie
* Create a new "widget store" sub-project, bringing in code submissions
from ROLE and ITEC projects
Issues before graduation:
* complete first release
* build community/expand user base
