The mashup server uses JavaScript to describe logic for acquiring information, combining data, and exposing it to a user. Information can be
acquired from sources such as Web services and scraped pages and published as a new Web service, feeds, Web pages, or notifications.
Version 1.5 features stubs and templates for Google Gadgets, which can be hosted within Mashup Server or externally such as
in an iGoogle page. A beta dashboard add-in is featured for hosting Google Gadgets within Mashup Server. Google Gadgets enable
dynamic content to be placed on a Web page.
Data services enhancements provide Web services interfaces to relational databases and other data sources such as Excel spreadsheets
and comma-separated values.
