Using NNTP I've created a "Threaded Discussion" Portlet. I would like to
contribute. It works with James, extending NNTPRepositoryImpl to remove threads for moderated discussion.
Is it necessary to Internationalize before contributing?
I would be nice :-)
But I don't think a portlet which brings a James dependency should be inside jetspeed. (Maybe I understood it wrong).
As a matter of fact, we are in the process of stabilizing Jetspeed 1 and planning a move to Jetspeed-2.
My personal opinion (but I think most developers will agree) is that Jetspeed and portlets should be separate modules in the future.
Jetspeed 2 will ship with functionality as a portal tool (administration), and a few key or simple demo portlets.
Jetspeed will have separate modules for hosting development of portlets like what you are proposing, shipping in different "portlet applications". The original proposal for the Portlet API included facilities for doing this. I don't think they will drop it, since it is a highly desirable feature.
So, while I think it will be worthwhile to look more into your proposal, I suggest that you open a bugzilla issue (Request For Enhancement), and discuss features and dependencies with interested people there. In this way, you can proceed without bringing additional dependencies inside jetspeed.
If it looks worthwhile, it could be put in the scratchpad to develop there until it can be released (in the Jetspeed-2 infrastructure) as a portlet application. Or people could build it separately from the scratchpad.

SantiagoP.S.) I CC: dev, since it mostly belong to jetspeed development.
