Adding a Feature to SHindig - Blog Post
Hello all,
Thanks for your help last week as I muddled through adding a feature and osapi service to Shindig. The results of my wandering are captured in six blog posts starting here:
http://www.dr-chuck.com/csev-blog/2010/07/playing-with-shindigopensocial-adding-a-new-feature-and-a-service/
Feel free to review and comment and suggest improvements. I only started playing with this a few weeks back so I may have truly missed something.
As I said in my note last week, if you would like me to recast this material for the wiki - I am happy to do so - just tell me where it fits. There are several independent pieces so they might go several places in the wiki.
Again, thanks so much.

Agreed. This <http://code.google.com/p/google-caja/wiki/LibraryTaming> is
another source of documentation on taming although in general rather than
specifically for gadgets.

@Chuck, I agree that slightly cleaning it up for Wiki consumption and
enhancement would be of benefit. Most important though is just to get the
content up!
@Jasvir, perhaps Chuck's documentation could serve as a larger bootstrap of
documentation on exposing tamed services :)

Thanks.
@John - I will reformat and edit a few Wiki pages and then link them in.
@Jasvir - I will adjust my taming discussion as you describe and then you can look at the pages on the wiki after I am don and make future adjustments.

Hi Chuck,
I like this write up. A suggestion for the section on taming.js - this file
whitelists your library calls so that cajoled programs can call them.
___.grantRead grants access to read the value (but not call it). In your
example, you are creating functions, the correct way to expose these library
functions so cajoled programs can call them will be as:
var tamings___ = tamings___ || [];
tamings___.push(function(imports) {
caja___.whitelistFuncs([
[gadgets.learning, 'getContextLabel'],
[gadgets.learning, 'getContextName'],
[gadgets.learning, 'setOutcome']
]);
});
For methods you would similarly use caja___.whiteListMethods() and for
constructors, caja___.whiteListCtors().
Regards
Jasvir

John - Thanks.
Would you prefer I write up a few pages in the wiki and point to them in the FAQ - or should I just point to my blog posts.
I would think it more valuable to redo the text in the wiki so others can improve it. It will take a bit of rewrite - but I am happy to do that.

Hey Chuck:
This is great documentation, thanks for writing it up! I'd love to see this
in the Wiki or the Shindig docs page itself.
A quick place to put it would be in the FAQs section:
