=== Sugar-GMoksaya ===
Sugar-GMoksaya is a webservice extension which allows us to post journal projects to Moksaya, the Project Sharing Website. Addition of Mini Profile code allows us to view latest projects from our friends in Group View.
==== Details ====
* Moksaya needs username and api key for any request. Also, we need public id of the moksaya user to fetch latest projects.
** We ask for username and password from the user in Settings > WebService.
** These are used to fetch the api key and public id.
** api key, username and public id are stored in GConf for future use. Passwords are not stored.
* Sharing is same as in webservice extension, from Journal > Copy to > GMoksaya
* If Gmoksaya account is also configured in your friends' Sugar, then they will send you their public ids.
* Our extension fetches latest post from friends account and keeps it in memory.
** If the cloud is expanded, the latest post is displayed followed by <code>get_latest_post()</code> calls to other services and looping back to this service.
