IMPORTANT ISSUES:
1. I think we can store the portlet markup as relational fields. Would it be
better to write a new PortletFactory.getInstance() that receives a
TurbineUserPeer as a parameter, or write a Cocoon (something-or-other) that
retrieves this info from the db and formats it with a stylesheet to PSML, whose
url may be supplied to the existing PortletFactory via RunData?
2. Turbine comes with stored sql procedures for setting up the database. I
think we should have a separate Jetspeed database. In fact, I think we should
be able to specify a different database for each table, with the option to
share. This will make clustering easier in high-performance environments.
3. Should the administrator be forced to set up each table, or should Jetspeed
have some amount of control over this (such as creating a certain table if it
doesn't already exist)?

Tell you what. Right now, I'm at the point where I know enough to work on
existing code but not enough to really write much of my own. While I still
have the newbie perspective, I'm going to make some documentation of all the
stuff I wish someone had told me 6 weeks ago (& stuff that didn't exist 6 weeks
ago). Then, when things settle down, we can add more "advanced" literature.
Just a primer on the API and how it is built on the /lib packages. Like the
developer doc, but a bit more elaborate....
