Interoperability with Lotus Notes 9 / IBM Connections 4

[René Peinl <re...@hof-university.de>]

Dear Shindig developers,

during CeBit, a big German trade fair, I visited the IBM booth and asked
them about a possible interoperability between their new products which are
said to implement OpenSocial 2.0 and Shindig/Rave. Since no technical guy
was available I got the information later on and the answer was: currently,
there is no interoperability but there will be an experts circle soon that
discusses the possibility. 

I only got this little piece of information and also not directly from a
technical person, but intermediated through a sales person. Therefore, I
wanted to ask the IBM people on the mailing list how much of this
information is true. I was thinking about Notes delivering activity
information to Shindig or the other way around Open Source software like
XWiki delivering their activity information via OpenSocial to
Notes/Connections instead of Shindig. I was a little bit astonished by the
distinct “no interoperability” which is in contrast to the claimed
OpenSocial compatibility from my perspective.

Regards

René

Hi Rene, sounds like who ever you were talking to was mis-informed.
IBM Notes 9 and IBM Connections 4 are both using Shindig to provide an
implementation of OpenSocial.  For the most part, you can take any
OpenSocial gadget and render them in either of those containers.  If
you have specific questions regarding either product you can email me
directly.  Thanks.
