OpenSocial support for user profiles?

[Guest]

I understand that this is probably way too big of a request to be making when you've already started development, but I think it is worthwhile anyway...

It seems to me that with IPB being an inherently social platform, and with the profiles moving to a more customisable, user-based approach, that integrating Google's OpenSocial would be a very logical step for the software. It would allow forum admins and users to take advantage of a vast array of existing applications, that will continue to grow, without having to implement a new framework and API for doing so (as you have with profile tabs as they are now...)

I've had experience with opensocial in the past, and its a hell of a nightmare to implement, has to be the least logical code I have ever seen. In it's current stage, I don't see the benefits of OpenSocial, its more hassle than its worth, I know it will grow, but theres more issues than benefits in its current state.

I don't know about OpenSocial, but IPB can definitely do with (OPTIONAL) more social-friendly profiles, etc.
