Google Friend Connect gadgets

Recently, I was wondering whether it was possible to obtain the gadget specifications for Google Friend Connect gadgets. After digging for awhile, the urls from the XML specifications for these gadgets are available from http://www.google.com/friendconnect/script/friendconnect.js.

The following are the gadget specs that are linked to within the javascript files.

  • http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/wall.xml
  • http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/friendbar.xml
  • http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/activities.xml
  • http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/members.xml
  • http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/signin.xml
  • http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/osapi-0.8.xml

I have not tried all the above gadgets but so far the wall.xml does not run under shindig due to some missing functionalities, e.g. the getViewParams() rpc function. It will take some further hacking to get them to work.
