David, How on track do you feel Jetspeed is to make "beta" by the end of April as you originally suggested in this note? Is it close?
I've followed the large amount of changes that have gone on since 1.3a2. We would definitely benefit from these changes. I have a couple of portlets that I'm 99% sure will be broken by the changes, so I'm trying to figure out when the "right" time will be to port them over. When do folks on the list foresee the changes slowing down to mostly bug fixes?

Well I disagree. We are in the middle of adding some much needed features such as portlet instance ids and proper state manager. I will be making additional features to the registry and psml over the next week. We also have quite a few bugs in Bugzilla. All the bugs should be fixed before the next release, esp. the problems with the customizer and Tomcat 4.03/JDK 1.4. Other refactoring work over the next week: - PortletConfig - PersistenceManager Some missing features that should go in, off the top of my head: - full support for non-default PSML pages - customize those pages - needs to be a list of customizable PSML pages - admin should be able to customize anon page - A Portlet StateManager based on PEIDs (there's an upcoming proposal on this...) - Framework or guidelines for handling form post parameters with portlets Please feel free to add to this list... I think we can do without a new security model for the next release. Its just too much work and very hard to find agreement. IMO the next release should be beta, roughly in one month or so -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
