Hi, What you have put up there looks really awesome in the direction of getting Jetspeed 1.6 with fusion out with M2. That would really be ideal since the good work you did on Portal Struts bridges 2.0 can be really used.
Any help that is needed to get the Jetspeed 1.6-fusion work going...count me in too along with Hema and Jeff...I can offer some testing help for sure. About the Customiser I agree with Hema and Jeff I too felt lost. My first instinct was to look for the small pencil icon that allowed me to add portlets as it would in 1.5. Anyway Good luck and if there is anything as far as helping just let us know here and we will do our best helping you out.

I'll try to do so within a few days, (the sooner we decide if/when to merge the branch the more time I will have for it) Precondition for success though is that there are not other blocking issues with Fusion to get it working again. I don't know. Community, David? Getting help from some of you currently working with Fusion might help too: Hema, Jeff? - Hopefully, beginning next week we have both J2 and Fusion in sync again - If all works out well, I'll propose to do a J2-M2 release as well as a Fusion 1.6 release next weekend (!) as I can dedicate most of my time that weekend doing the release. I haven't done a release before though, so getting at least some help from someone from the team with previous experience will be important I think. - Furthermore, I'd like to propose to do releases more often (say once every month, maybe two) at least until we reach J2-final. The next release (M3) could contain the portlet selector (customizer) from David if he won't be able to commit it in time for M2. Furthermore, we should try to get most of the outstanding bugs fixed by then. I'm willing to work on that a lot. - Furthermore, I am going to spend more time in April on writing documentation as the community really is in dire need of it. I'd say the M3 release should contain enough documentation to allow new users to start working with J2 on their own. Hopefully, other team members and/or active community users can step up too in providing more documentation... I know this list is quite ambitious, but well, I am ;-) Anyone like to comment?
