Simple JavaScript Widgets

[lornajane]

Hi All,

I've just launched something new on the site and I think it's pretty
cool so I wanted to share! We now have some simple javascript
widgets, which show the talk rating and number of comments for any
talk (once there are some comments, before the event, it just shows a
link to the talk page on the site). This isn't my feature - credit
entirely goes to Kevin (magicmonkey on github) who made these and
demanded I make the API changes he needed, thanks Kevin :)

There are some docs on using it here: http://joind.in/about/widgets
which include some examples and a bit about how it works. It's
intended to be super-simple so people can drop these on their event
websites, or for example I will be adding them on my (super new)
website against each of the talks, instead of just the link back to
joind.in that I have now. The documentation page has an example, and
they should be pretty easy to style too.

We talked about having some really fully-featured widgets, and this is
just a start. If you have any questions or comments then let us
know ... if you have any feature requests then patches are welcome :)
