Shindig on .NET?
Hello Shindig community!
As developer who works with Microsoft .NET Framework platform I found
that there are no open implementations of opensocial container on .NET
(pesta/baadal isn't production quality, poorly designed and aren't
using .NET benefits as they just unsuccessful port of shindig java
implementation). So I've started my own open source project here:
catpic.codeplex.com. It uses all client-side (javascript) of shindig,
but server-side is written from scratch. Also it will be distributed
as nuget package (package manager for Visual Studio - see nuget.org)
that means it will be integrated into existing ASP.NET application.
This is the goal: integrating of opensocial facilities into existing
applications with minimal efforts. Just install nuget package,
implement some interfaces which are mediators between different
systems (e.g. repositories of people, activities) and your site is
opensocial container now.
So, what have I done:
* simple gadget server (some features, as preload aren't implemented)
* social handlers: people.get, people.create, activities.get,
activities.create, activitystreams.get, activitystreams.create
* demo site (continues integration build): http://catpic.apphb.com/
Why am I writing here? Maybe this project can be considered as good
start point to develop Shindig in .NET world.
Resources:
* catpic.codeplex.com - project repository
* http://catpic.apphb.com/social/ActivityStreams
Tests:

* http://catpic.apphb.com/gadgets/ifr?url=http://catpic.apphb.com/content/gadgets/social/PeopleSuiteTest.xml
Thanks,

Great to know Matt. If Ilya wants to pursue this I am sure the
community will consider the idea.

One potential avenue to keep in mind is a sponsored incubation. If the Shindig PMC feels that this project could be a valuable sub-project of Shindig, but are unsure of community and IP, they can sponsor the project's incubation at http://incubator.apache.org. Once the project has proven that it has an active & diverse community, then it can graduate as a sub-project of Shindig or a new top-level project, if being a sub-project no longer makes sense.

Ilya, we as an OpenSocial community lack in this area a bit. There
are some compliance tests checked in to Shinding [1] but they are for
earlier versions of the spec. One of the items on the TODO list of
the OpenSocial community is to update these tests.

Hi Ryan!
What compliance tests can you suggest to test opensocial/gadget
functionality? I found several tests exploring shindig sources. Can
you list the main of them? What is the minimal functionality of
opensocial compliant application based on shindig experience?

Thanks for reply!
Yes, I've already seen negrony and considered it as "a fast and
flexible markup processor for building arbitrary parsing and rendering
control structures" according to the description from site. It was
useful to understand how to implement opensocial standard by exploring
source code / debugging. But I think it would be better to me to
continue development using my source code as it was designed using new
features of .NET Framework as async Tasks (all I/O operations are
async, e.g. fetching gadget definition from remote location,
rendering), expression trees, upcoming ASP.NET WebAPI (as REST
services).. Also I'm trying create it as lightwight component which
can be integrated easly into existing ASP.NET (MVC) sites.
However I understand that it is far away from production quality as
negroni and isn't ready to publish. So I plan to continue development
and when it become more stable, I will try to populate it and
opensocial concept among .NET developers (for example publish articles
which describe key principes at codeproject.com - popular resource
where I haven't found any major reference on opensocial topic).

Re: Shindig on .NET?

Hey, good to hear from you. Also nice to hear there's some .Net interest.
Negroni is being hosted on Google Code here:
http://code.google.com/p/negroni/
Myspace is not actively contributing any longer, but the implementation is
available under the Apache license. I have also moved on to other items
and have not been actively maintaining the project, so it's a little out of
date.
Negroni is not an "out of the box" OpenSocial container like Shindig, but
rather a fast parsing engine that has an OpenSocial Gadget parser written
on top of it and the basic hooks to tie into APIs that can hydrate the .Net
based OpenSocial data contracts.
I'd be happy to help you get started with this code base if you are
interested in trying to move it forward and get a good .Net OpenSocial
option available in the market.

Welcome Llya!
Have you taken a look at Negroni [1]? It is probably not that active
anymore but I know it was open sourced by MySpace and was based on
.NET. Chris Cole (CCed) was one of the lead developers and can
probably give you more information.
As always we are welcome to contributions from everyone, but we need
to evaluate any new implementations and make sure there is a serious
developer community around them so they live up to the high standards
of our consumers :)
