Certainly, the jetspeed desktop has plenty of room for improvement. The factors that we based our decisions on are most likely quite different from those that drive netvibes.com. For example, in choosing to use dojo toolkit, we needed to satisfy the internal requirements for jetspeed desktop, but we also wanted our choice to be well suited for portlet application development. As always, licensing was also a consideration.
There is a lot of obvious optimization that has not yet occurred (e.g. compression of the jetspeed desktop javascript). I would be interested in hearing about the specific improvements that you would like to see. There are many places where we could focus our attention. Also, I wouldn't expect that most open source projects have as "slick" of a demo as netvibes.com. However, I believe that when it comes to depth, jetspeed competes fairly well with the likes of netvibes.com. What are your thoughts on this?

Hello everyone, I am a developer who has just started working with Jetspeed Portal. I chose Jetspeed as my target portal some 6 months ago, mainly because of the tremendous support that we get from this mailing list and the fact that the new ajax interface was under development. I was hoping that Ajax interface would basically prove what an slick user interface would be like Fast , Quick Response Very Intuitive for the user to use. I was hoping for an interface which would be as slick as that of netvibes.com. ( Agreed that initial loading time is bit long but subsequently it is very intuitive) I installed the new Jetspeed 2.1 Minimal Installer) ..and then tried to use the desktop . Unfortunately my experience with it was not really nice. i found that desktop was slow , reloaded the page on clicking of the tabs, and was not very slick.....maybe it was using a lot of dojo widgets ...not really sure I think i might be missing something really significant here, but is it the way this is supposed to work?????? Isnt it possible to have a desktop which feels light. and has features of netvibes and start.com etc Regards, Team Vit --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
