Those are valid concerns and your observations are correct. The salaried developers are from the consulting firm Globant, which has an OpenSocial practice and has done extensive work for Google. They are preparing to put SocialSite into production at a large web site made up of multiple web applications and communities. They have been working on "porting" SocialSite to JBoss, Tomcat and making the JPA implementation work with Hibernate's JPA. They have not yet submitted patches for this code. - Dave >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Dave [mailto:snoopd...@gmail.com] >> Sent: Thursday, 9 April 2009 11:12 AM >> To: general@incubator.apache.org >> Cc: Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart; rovagn...@gmail.com; Jamey Wood; Robert >> Bissett; leandro.milma...@globant.com; rodr...@globant.com; Tony Ng >> Subject: [PROPOSAL] Apache SocialSite >> >> Greetings to all, >> >> It's my pleasure to present to you a proposal for a new project Apache >> SocialSite, a social networking service based on Apache Shindig >> (incubating) with an end-user interface composed entirely of >> OpenSocial gadgets and designed to add social networking features to >> existing web applications (e.g. Roller, JSPWiki, your favorite webapp, >> etc.).
