I like the idea of this being pluggable. We probably need more discussion
as to how this would look before we cut any code.
It would be very easy with the current state of development to get things
intertwined into a monolithic application where everything depends on
everything else. This, IMHO, is a maintainence nigthmare.
When I started iCalendar development with the eye on a web-based calendar
and then eventually writing valid iCalendar. I tried hard not to tie
myself into Jetspeed internals where it wasnt necessary. It wasnt that
hard as the problem spaces Kevin was dealing with were much different than
those that I had been working on.
Anyway, with the pluggable service, side projects, such as iCalendar and
project can be easily spun off as they grow and mature. As long as
Jetspeed has a hook for the services Jetspeed can still utilize that code.
