Before doing so, I've started this email thread to introduce the concept.
Could you all please provide some feedback and opinions so we can see if everyone stands behind this new TLP.
The proposal for portals.apache.org is based on bringing together communities from all of the portal-related projects at Jakarta:
1. Jetspeed 2. Jetspeed-2 3. Pluto 4. WSRP-4J 5. Portlet Applications ....
These projects would be moved out of jakarta.apache.org and into portals.apache.org for ex portals.apache.org/jetspeed or portals.apache.org/pluto
Goals of portals.apache.org:
1. To promote the use of portlet applications. We view portlets as an important technology in the growing portal and web application environments. We intend to build freely available portlet applications, portal servers, and portlet containers in order to promote the use of this technology.
2. To encourage developers from all Apache portal projects to work together and share common code
3. To develop Portlet Applications and Portlet Application frameworks at portals.apache.org and grow the portal community here. Portlet Applications will be managed as sub-projects.
Portal Applications will enable a higher level of application development while cleanly separating the development of portals such as Jetspeed from applications code.
4. To provide a community for portal-related Java and XML standards and reference implementations under the ASF license at portals.apache.org
Note that I have cross-posted to all three (Jetspeed, Pluto, and WSRP4J) mailing lists.
To respond across mailing lists, respond to ALL.
Not sure if this is the best solution, since Im going to receive 3 emails being that Im a member of all 3 lists.
But this allows for a cross-discussions between the three developer groups on this thread.
(I will also post this same message to the 3 user lists tomorrow.)
Regarding Cocoon's portal, I don't understand Cocoon's portal well enough to say it should or should not be a part of portals.apache.org.
I have doubts that they would want to decouple from Cocoon, but you don't know until you ask.
Of course the Cocoon community is welcome and we should discuss how this can happen.
