Near after eight months,that I have joined WSO2 team,I feel it's the better time to share some information regarding the product,that I have almost contributed there.It's non other than WSO2 Gadget Server-The Enterprise Information Portal,which provides a framework built on top of the Google gadget specification.For more information regarding Google gadget specification visit .
Simply saying,the key idea of GS is to keep all the relevant information in a single place in a well organized manner according to the portal user's preference.And the user can change this web space as a dynamical information store or either static information store according to his/her requirements.
Accepting the idea of one picture could say more than 1000 words,before going to deep on it,below shows the screen-shot of the portal view of GS.
Highlighted features of Gadget Server...
