3 likes•2,361 views
This document discusses the Social Enabler project from OpenNTF, which aims to provide social functionality for XPages applications using the IBM Social Business Toolkit. It outlines goals like providing ready-to-use components, APIs, and scenarios. Key technologies discussed include HTML5, REST, JSON, OAuth, Activity Streams, and OpenSocial. Current functionality demonstrated includes reading from and writing to activity streams, displaying XPages in embedded experiences, and writing custom REST services.

Goals of the OpenNTF Project Get feedback from the community Identify XPages requirements for new social functionality Show strategic direction Provide some of the new functionality as open source to receive early feedback from developers Disclaimer The IBM® Social Business Toolkit is only available as test version on Greenhouse. It is not part of any IBM product yet. The code on OpenNTF is not production ready, not officially supported by IBM and it will change. 6

- 15. IBM Social Business Toolkit The IBM Social Business Toolkit is a new cross-product integration with the Lotus Social Business portfolio and extensibility toolkit for developers. Initially, the IBM Social Business Toolkit delivers a set of tools that enable developers to publish and retrieve events to the activity stream. The toolkit further enables cloud deployability, open standards-based APIs to consume, produce, and use events, a configurable adapter framework for consuming existing external content, filtering capabilities, and enhanced administrative features for better security. In the future, the toolkit will expand to include extensibility areas such as share box, embedded experiences, and more. 15

- 27. Lead Manager Application This is a sample application for the fictional ZetaBank company's CRM application It had been initially developed as a 'classic' Notes/Domino application, and then moved to XPages The XPages application is out since 2009 It doesn't use the XPages extension library It aggregates data from multiple sources The base version is available freely on OpenNTF: http://www.openntf.org/p/Lead%20Manager%20X 27
