I had a one-to-one meeting with Sam Rowley discussing the gadget development on Ning.
I have demonstrated my initial experiment with Ning on how an XML file can be linked from an external server to Ning using the gadget feature. This triggered an idea by Sam R about the possibility of integrating a webpage into Ning and indeed we managed to incorporate a wiki webpage residing on Hive into Ning using a text box feature. This will enable the user to search documents throughout the webpage. This step was a real success and the picture became clearer for the development team on what can be implemented. We came to the conclusion that the developers need to create a webpage which will be an interface for searching queries from HIVE and this webpage will be embedded into Ning.
