Updating the php javascript

[Cassie <do...@google.com>]

Hey guys - I'm looking for someone who knows anything about php to help me
fix the shindig js code.
There are several easy things we need to do to improve the js stuff:

1. The php needs to use features/opensocial-reference/*.js instead of the
php/js/People.js file. That file is very old and out of date.
2. The reliance on javascript/gadgets should be changed to use
features/core, and pull in the other features files as necessary.
3. We should try to get rid of the entire php/js directory because it
shouldn't be needed.

I don't know much about php but I do know how the js files need to work
together. So, does anyone have time to help? Also, who is using the php
stuff right now? (just wondering because it seems a little behind)
Thanks!

- Cassie

Just fyi - Chris Chabot replied to me saying that he is working on a new
version of all the php stuff. He has mentioned this in other threads but I
figured I would wrap this thread up here. If his work goes well it seems
like we will be able to get rid of all the bad js code, so that works for
me!

The very high level view of how the PHP works is in the README:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/php/README

Aside from that, it generally *doesn't* work all that well. It certainly is
*not* a general gadget server at this point in time :-)

Cassie,
I asked long back for another guy's help. I am happy to do this but only if
anyone can tell me how it actually works. The problem is that I don't
understand how this thing works.

Now to do this task with you. I need to know two things
1.) How does it work now?
2.) How should it be made work?

Now it would be nice if someone explains what to do. Please don't reply with
theoretical work. Reply about what has to be done technically. Example:
please don't say 'need to implement OAuth' say 'OAuth is to be implemented
while doing xyz for the purspose of abc'. Just my thought that conveying
thoughts in a technical language helps fasten the project.
