Please excuse me if this has already been mentioned elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it and this thread seems like a good place to ask. In trying to design an app that will work across many open social containers it's very helpful to understand exactly what the rules of enngagement are. I understand that referencing external javascript is going to be a no-no but that for now it works.
What is the story for how to get javascript into your myspace app? It can't be pasting it all into a textarea. That's not a sustainable model. With regards to the specific eval example in this thread, Orkut has support for gadget.json.parse and stringify for the purpose of going to and from JSON. Will MySpace have that support as well? Am I missing where in the API this currently exists?
As far as caja goes I've downloaded the spec but haven't dove into it yet. Will you guys put out a simplified set of rules for the javascript that will pass through the "cajoler"?
I know you're figuring all this stuff out but if you have any insight into some of the expected architecture we can bank on going forward it makes it a little easier to work on creating apps that will be ready to go when you guys are. At the very least I hope my questions will help you guys know what knowledge is needed out here in developer land.
Thanks and hope to see some of you at the upcoming SF event.
