How does Wookie work?

Administrators can upload Widgets packaged according to the W3C Widgets specification, and makes these available to applications using a REST API. Applications typically have a plugin that implements this REST API, and enables users to pick widgets from a gallery of those available to add to their pages. There is a Connector Framework included in Wookie for many different programming languages that simplifies the process of writing plugins.

Demo

You can see a small number of widgets rendered in a simple HTML page (generated from our Confluence site).

You can also see a running version of Wookie on our demo server (NOTE: there is no guarantee this will be running as it is not a mission critical service - Wookie Committers who have access to the demo server can follow the Demo Admin Guide)
