I'm working on integration the APIs functionality to the module, eg. getting repo commits, user statistics, and GitHubs Gists could easily be a part of this integration.
I would happily look into merging the Gists into the module, but what is your idea on what functionality to bring to the module from Gists?
@LarsEliasNielsen thanks for your answer! I was thinking in doing a repository of snippets like dropbucket.org but using Github Gists as storage and comments.
And for that, this module seems to me the best way, and the best place to start.
I stumbled across this module hoping for a solution like this:
I run a small code blog. Right now I use geshi formatting to handle formatting. I'm really impressed by the gist embeds available, and was considering moving to them as a permanent solution so I can keep my snippets as projects for the community. It's easy to embed via
into the content. However, that makes my blog's content unsearchable, and I'm really not so game for that.
I'd like to create an additional task during keyword indexing to add the content of the gist into the index itself. You wouldn't get the scoring value off the html as much, but it'll do very well for my needs. I might make you a patch for it in the next couple weeks if you don't go there first.
