gadget-to-gadget communication

[Zhenhua Guo <je...@gmail.com>]

It seems that shindig 2.0 implements OpenSocial 1.0.
For rpc feature described on page
http://opensocial-resources.googlecode.com/svn/spec/1.0/Core-Gadget.xml#gadgets.rpc,
it says
    "Provides operations for making remote procedure calls for
gadget-to-container, container-to-gadget, and gadget-to-gadget
communication."
I wonder whether "<static> gadgets.rpc.call(targetId, serviceName,
callback, var_args)" can be used for inter-gadget communication. In my
impression, old versions of shindig only supported communication
between gadgets and gadget container. Inter-gadget communication was
not directly supported. It that supported in shindig 2.0? Based on my
reading of source code, it is still not supported.

Thanks!

Gerald,

The code in Shindig in the extras directory matches what will be in 
OpenSocial 1.1. The link below is the draft of the spec that we are 
scheduled to approve early November.
