What is Shindig?
Shindig is a container for hosting social application consisting of four parts:
* Gadget Container JavaScript: core JavaScript foundation for general gadget functionality (read more about gadget functionality). This JavaScript manages security, communication, UI layout, and feature extensions, such as the OpenSocial API.
* Gadget Rendering 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.
Shindig is the reference implementation of OpenSocial API specifications, a standard set of Social Network APIs which includes:
* Profiles
* Relationships
* Activities
* Shared applications
* Authentication
* Authorization

Working draft of CSS 3: Template Layout Module - Edward Bilodeau

Aside: Several of the examples in the document are written in what I'm assuming is HTML 5 syntax, which is jarring because of the lack of closing tags.
I can see that, given the scope of the changes coming with CSS 3, I am probably going to have to invest a significant amount of time to CSS 3. I had originally planned on waiting until it was finalized, but I think that spending some time reviewing the current documents will be well worth it. Same goes for HTML 5.
