Hi Todd, Its a assuring sign that people like you are devoted to the open source momentum.
But I will say u are not getting my point. This discussion is not to criticize the Jetspeed development. But is to find out if a. the Jetspeed can really be used in the production environment b. it has sufficient basic features to be spent time and effort by companies like mine to deploy business sites for clients. Look we do not have time and resources to do experiment ourselves and later figure out that the product is too immature. That is why I sent out the mail to ask people if they have deployed some sensible sites on net. I do not understand what portal you are running... When I checked back your another posting, I suppose you must be referring to http://portal.wisernet.com and http://portal.wiserlabz.com I do not see why these sites are great; I just do not see any content. I do not see any channels into it. They are totally useless as example to assure community that there are some meaningful sites using Jetspeed. Except for http://qld.ieaust.org.au/jetspeed I have not seen any meaningful deployment of jetspeed. That is why I have doubts about its readiness for the business "as of today". I am sure it will be ready tomorrow. I hope my reading to be wrong. Because if Jetspeed can be meaningfully used today, I would like to use it for my clients web sites. So please correct me if anybody things that way. regards, Haresh -----Original Message----- From: todd tredeau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 8:55 AM To: Jetspeed Users List Subject: [opinion] Re: Jetspeed for professional sites; Is it ready I guess you guys miss the point... I think discussion is great, as long as the purpose if for moving the product forward, adding needed input... There is lots of great software out there. There are lots of great programmers from many countries with different perspectives. 1. You can suggest what you need (and can't write) 2. You can suggest / show what other people are doing and have done. 3. You can contribute, to improve the product, make suggestions, etc. Jetspeed, is in reality truly what is great about the #1 Web Server in the business, the combined minds of thousands (sometimes just dozens or fewer) very hard working dedicated people. Open Source Software works... Sometimes our thoughts are poor, disorganized (mine are) but here is what I see (as a non programmer) that I MUST have for a 100% go... Keep in mind, Jetspeed is a great idea, and it is a "work in progress", not a debate.. I would like to see the following aspects addressed in Jetspeed, and am willing to spend the time with willing programmers to get there.. are you? Configuration Routine (usually you have to write this last) as the program changes to much and too fast... along these lines I have great ideas.. Adding Content "portlets" at will...including; date content starts date content stops content creation (There are a number of nice xml publishing packages out there, either write one or make a jetspeed modified version of one) End Users can't do it. Calander, ya that would be cool, but.... how about somethiing really cool, voting, yes, but again, I would like to take it a few steps further.. who is up to the challenge? To demonstrate my committment to this project I run 2 portals 24 x 7, and work very hard to promote "good" software of all types.
