Daisy is a content management system that offers rich out-of-the-box functionality combined with solid foundations for extensibility and integration. Daisy consists of two main components:
* a stand-alone repository server accessible through HTTP/XML (using the ReST style of WebServices) and/or a high-level (remote) Java API, and
* an extensive editing and publishing front-end web application running inside Apache Cocoon.Due to its genericity and flexibility, Daisy can be used for many different purposes, but is ideally suited for information-rich, structured content and asset management applications. Even for advanced content management applications, Daisy can be used and configured without any Java-coding skills: Daisy offers a Javascript/Cocoon-based extension framework.
Daisy is licensed under the open source, business-friendly Apache License 2.0. Enjoy!
Shindig is a new project in the Apache Software Foundation incubator and is an open source implementation of the OpenSocial specification and gadgets specification.
The architectural components of Shindig can be broken down as follows:
* Gadget Container JavaScript -- core JavaScript foundation for general gadget functionality. This JavaScript manages security, communication, UI layout, and feature extensions, such as the OpenSocial API.
* Gadget Server -- used to render the gadget XML into JavaScript and HTML for the container to expose via the container JavaScript.
* OpenSocial Container JavaScript -- JavaScript environment that sits on top of the Gadget Container JavaScript and provides OpenSocial specific functionality (profiles, friends, activities, datastore).
* OpenSocial Data Server -- an implementation of the server interface to container-specific information, including the OpenSocial REST APIs, with clear extension points so others can connect it to their own backends.
