Drupal Social Initiative

Description: Working group to harmonize authentication with external services in Drupal

This group is specifically for organizing, planning and working on Drupal projects being fostered by developers/architects interested in harmonizing authentication with external services in Drupal. This group is also the focal point for organizing BoFs, sprints, and camps.

See the code at Social API and the issues for Social API.

We have a Drupal Social Initiative Google Group.

The Social API project was initially funded by Google Summer of Code. Learn more about Drupal's GSoC initiative by joining the group

Make a request so we can add you to Drupal Social Initiative on GitHub so we can code together. And see issues at Issues for Drupal Social Initiative on GitHub

Make a request so we can add you to the Drupal Social Initiative Google Drive so that we can collaboratively create documents and diagrams.

For chat use https://join.skype.com/ah3MJ8jQVHWF or we can use irc://irc.freenode.net/#kendraio. But Skype is monitored more frequently.

Like the Drupal Social Initiative page on Facebook for some reason that we can't quite remember.

Please, do no job posts here. Use Drupal Jobs. Thanks.

The goal of the Drupal Social Initiative (Social API) is to harmonise Social Networking functionality in Drupal; provide more functionality to end-users; provide easier site creation and configuration to site administrators and developers; and enable easier module maintenance for developers.

Week 8 is over and we are just one month away from Google Summer of Code final evaluation. I mentioned in my last weekly summary that I would work on documentation about implementing a Social Auth integration. I started doing so, but in our last meeting Mateu, one of my mentors, suggested to start working on an implementer for Social Post.

Week 7 is over, and we are working hard to have the Social API project ready before GSoC final evaluation. This week was particularly different from others. In week 7, I focused on many different tasks: from code to documentation and from closing issues to testing patches.

Week 6 is over, and we are already in the second week of the second half of Google Summer of Code 2016. We are working hard to have the Social API project ready to be used widely before GSoC ends. Furthermore, we are trying to already have some implementors, so developers can see sample modules developed on top of the Social API, Social Auth, Social Post, and Social Widgets.

The Social API project is divided into four different modules. One of them is Social Widgets (social_widgets), which covers widgets (sometimes called plugins but for the Social API plugins refers to something else) such as buttons (like, tweet, share, etc.), embedded content (post, videos, tweets, etc.), among other things.
