Using GWT as Portlets for Google Sites?
Can GWT be used as a basis for building portlets that are displayed on google sites?
If so, I am assuming that these portlets can simply be hosted on the GAE instance?
Elsewhere, GWT is based on java, but what if the portlets are written in python? I am assuming that Django can be rendered into a google site gadget?
thank
Floor

the portlet for the google site will identify the google gadget.
A google gadget is basically a chunk of HTML and / or javascript, and an accompanying XML specification. see http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference.html for more information .
- Yes, you can host HTML / javavscript and XML spec on Google Appengine.
- Yes you can write a Google gadget using GWT, see also GWT Gadgets
- Yes, you can write gadgets with Django as long as you create valid HTML / javascript and XML spec with Django
