Hello Dustin,
I was sitting here thinking... kweather has weather information for the
whole world. It looks like they do use NOAA, but not the web and xml
services I used in that portlet. They use METAR:

Here's a list of station names that they have
Thomas,
Other replies have covered WSRP support. As for the release time line
the last big feature before RC2 that is currently being worked on is a
new theme. That work should be wrapping up towards the end of this week
after which I'll be cutting RC2 to start testing on for the GA release.
Ok, I'm asking here, because my main purpose for doing this is to
benefit the uPortal community. Although, it's not a specific uPortal
question.
I am currently the maintainer of a Google Portlet on the
code.google.com hosting site. This portlet was exchanged in uPortal 2.6
for a version
Hi Eric, et. al.,
I've spent quite a few hours experimenting with various
maven project structures for GAP and have come up with 2
options:
. a single project containing all the code, with a custom
packaging phase to create the individual jars we want:
gap-full.jar (does not contain
Dan,
I favor the two sub project approach for the advantage of emphasizing
that there's a great majority of GAP that is independent of uPortal.
Since the new project will deliver .jars usable elsewhere regardless of
how the project build is factored, I don't feel tremendously strongly in
my
The METAR data is very interesting and definitely a possible solution. There
are two things I noticed.
1.) It comes from airports around the world so how would we get weather for
cities with no airports?
2.) What is going to be an easy way to map an IATA code (airport code) to a
city? I was
I have recently been in contact with AccuWeather.com to explore the
possibility of using their services for weather data.
AccuWeather.com's services are used in one of the most popular Firefox
add-ons: ForecastFox. If you are unfamiliar with AccuWeather you can visit

A friend of mine recently began using their data for a google gadget and had
great things to say about AccuWeather. He said the developers were very
helpful and responsive. It sounds like they really do have a lot of data;
he was using their service to get local pollen counts.
How is the API
I don't see a logo or link back as a problem. Since our primary focus is higher
education, I don't see the fact that commercial users need to contact
AccuWeather as a problem. From the sounds of it, this seems like a good option.
It would be nice to see if this portlet could be implemented in
I think this looks like a viable weather data source. The fact that we'd
have our own feed url is a plus and we can make a point to include a
little extra info in the default deploy of the portlet on how to contact
them if you have heavy usage.

Jen,
The data provided is far superior to any other service that I've seen, I was
really impressed when I first saw it. The API for getting locations is *also
really* nice IMO. You can see an example here:
