 This guide describes my experience with the Java version of Shindig, and a PHP container.
 ==== Is Shindig production ready ====
-No. Not unless you accept some serious security and other issues. I wouldn't even call it ready for your own !OpenSocial public beta-test. That being said, Shindig is being developed at an incredible pace, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ''is'' production ready by the time you read this.
+No. There are still some issues. If you're interested, check [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/;jsessionid=2DF627B6016E52FB70FF89120330A60DSHINDIG/component/12312112 the JIRA]. There are still some security and functionality issues. Furthermore, obvioulsy, you need to do some custom work to attach the server to your datasources, see [#FinalDatAllTheWay later in this document].  That being said, Shindig is being developed at an incredible pace, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ''is'' production ready by the time you read this.

 I believe Orkut and Hi5 are running on a (slightly modified version of the) Shindig server, so obviously it is possible to modify Shindig in such a way that it may be used for a public sandbox test. I'm not sure on which platform Ning and (soon to be) Myspace are running their respective sandboxes (if anyone knows, please let me know). Hyves is committed to have their sandbox test run on Shindig.

It might or might not work with another Shindig version, it might or might now work on other OS'es and Java versions, it will most probably not work if you use anything else than the Java version on Shindig.
