Nuxeo OpenSocial

Nuxeo OpenSocial is an add-on that brings OpenSocial containers to the Nuxeo Platform. It adds a customizable dashboard to end-users and activity charts to administrators.

When you install Nuxeo OpenSocial, the dashboard is automatically replaced by the OpenSocial dashboard. By default you can keep the same gadgets, but you can now customize what is displayed on your dashboard.
