<IBM-Hat>I can say that we're not currently doing OpenSocial in Symphony desktop, though it considered by us to be a strategic standard. We've done some conceptional work on how OpenSocial could be used in the context of editors. There are some very cool things that could be done in this area. </IBM-Hat>
My main point in terms of the Apache OpenOffice proposal is that OOo currently has its own extensibility mechanism, but it has a steeper learning curve.. It is beneficial if it could be extended in a standards-based way, since that enables greater reuse, obviously reuse of existing OpenSocial gadgets, but also greater reuse of domain knowledge and skills that the developer has. In other words, extensibility is good, but standards-based extensibility is golden. -Rob dsh <daniel.hais...@googlemail.com> wrote on 06/05/2011 09:46:09 AM: > From: dsh <daniel.hais...@googlemail.com> > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Date: 06/05/2011 09:46 AM > Subject: Re: OO.o and web widgets > > The only widget's I used with Lotus Symphony are widgets similar to > [1].
