My colleague, John Eckman, has posted the second part of the Alfresco Share screencast at Optaros Labs. In this screencast I show how a couple of examples of custom share components. One is a team bookmarks component and the other is a status/microblogging component. These components were built with Surf and should work in any Surf-based web site. Obviously, that includes Share but could be other Surf sites that you build. We will make both components available as open source.

Hi, Jeff. When will you make those dashlets available? We work with e-learning and knowledge management and use Alfresco Community as a DM store since 2007. Now we want to use Share as our project collab environment. I think there are very few dashlets ready to use available. And these ones are very useful. How can we get them?
Helena,
Honestly, there hasn’t been a whole lot of interest expressed in these components so it has fallen off the priority list. At this point, I think we’d be willing to put the source up on Google Code and let whomever wants the code take it and move it forward.
The bookmarks component has since been obsolesced by Alfresco including shared bookmarks in recent releases of Share. The microblogging component is still useful, IMHO, and is probably usable in its current form.
Let me know how soon you need this code. I may not be able to get it up to Google Code until late next week. If you need it sooner I could just shoot it over to you.
Jeff
