This page should be used to gather requirements for the next version of the OpenSocial container.

• Gadget Functionality
  • Core gadget functionality must be implemented
    • Gadget chrome with the ability to add and close arbitrary gadgets
    • Switch views both from the container and the gadget itself
    • Preferences support, at least within the current session, preferably across sessions
    • Support adjust height & width
      • +1 would be the ability to dynamically resize the gadget so devs can test different real-estates
    • Support for making remote requests via makeRequest & osapi.http
  • Advanced features
    • Container Services
      • Actions
      • Selection
      • Open Views
      • OpenSearch
    • Embedded Experiences
      • Activity stream is a must, and it must be the real activity stream from the container, so in theory if I get the activity stream via the opensocial APIs it is the same activity stream
      • Email - is this necessary?  For gadget devs you only really need to build the EE gadget once and it should work in both email and the activity stream.  We cannot support real emails coming into the sandbox, could we possibly derive and email experience from the activity stream?
    • OAuth
      • I want to be able to configure my own OAuth providers for my own account and store them securely
    • Hosting and Editing of my gadget XML?
    • Links to resources on how to add the features supported in the container to your gadget should be easy to access from the sandbox
• Developer Requirements
  • Must be open sourced and in the OpenSocial foundations source control
  • Links to resources on how to add the features supported in the container to your gadget should be easy to access from the sandbox
  • The sandbox should be an upstream project and built upon Shindig or Rave
  • Should have a dashboard mode as well as a "social app mode"
