Hey Brian, I'm not entirely following your question. Are you making a
distinction between gadgets and widgets? When you say you are using
the widget spec, do you mean updating your opensocial gadget xml to
support a new preference?

However, we do plan to support preferences for wookie widgets as well.
It is our intention that an end user will not know or care about the
specification a gadget / widget is using and see uniform
functionality.

Unfortunately, this has not been implemented yet. The Wookie connector
needs to support setting/getting preferences from a remote system first.
There are a lot of Wookie committers in Rave, so I hope to see this get
resolved soon.

Re: Widget preferences

Just to be clear you have open social gadgets (shindig) and w3c widgets
(wookie)
When I create a gadget with preferences, a menu to edit those preferences
is automatically created (in other words I don't have to write any html to
allow a user to edit the preferences)
When I create a widget with preferences the edit menu it disabled. Is
there plans to make that edit menu work for both gadgets and widgets?

Or are you referring to Wookie widgets?
