Yes, I spoke with some of the ROLE team to get involved in Wookie and Rave (see blog post I published here: https://scottbw.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/awesome-the-emergence-of-a-design-pattern-for-widget-based-sharable-workspaces/ ) > >> * Many bug fixes and updates to main code branch > > Drop > >> * Community members working on integrating W3C Widget support into >> Apache Rave (incubating) > > Drop (we'll report when I merge in my code), the working together part > is already covered above > >> * 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 > > Yes please, the vote has passed - what's the holdup with taking it to > general@? > >> * Continue to work and liase with Apache Rave project >> * Continue exploration of using Apache Amber for oAuth support within >> Wookie > > Conflate to "other projects" > >> * Create a new "widget store" sub-project, bringing in code submissions >> from ROLE and ITEC projects > > "aiming to bring in submissions"?
