Hi Woonsan, thanks for contacting me, I appreciate that!
Sorry it took so long to respond - your mail somehow landed in the wrong folder and I just found it today. We have a JIRA for the porlet spec - see: https://java.net/jira/browse/PORTLETSPEC3 I think that we should probably use that one for the spec itself and use the Pluto Jira for issues concerning Pluto directly. Naturally, there will be overlap, but I think we should try to manage that, and if it becomes too unwieldy, we can make the necessary changes when the time comes. You are highly welcome to follow the spec work on the java.net site. I'm looking forward to your input when time allows.

I'm not really sure if PLUTO JIRA is good enough or we need another JIRA project for the portlet spec itself (PORTLET?). Anyway, I hope to see ideas/discussions with Apache Portals JIRA issues as soon as possible. It is difficult for me to join you more actively now, but I hope to join in sharing ideas and discussions. Cheers, Woonsan From: Martin Scott Nicklous <scott.nickl...@de.ibm.com> To: pluto-dev@portals.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 10:12 AM Subject: Portlet Specification 3.0 Hi, I would like to announce the Portlet Specification 3.0 development effort to the Apache Pluto project. In the way of introduction - my name is Scott Nicklous, and I work for IBM in the WebSphere Portal development group. Late last year, there was thought about an effort to create the next version of the portlet specification. I submitted a proposal to the JCP organization, it got accepted, and now we have a JSR 362 Portlet Specification 3.0 effort up and running. The specification effort is at in an early stage. Actually, the JSR 362 EG is currently talking about errata for the JSR 286 specification that need to be addressed. We haven't yet begun discussion of new topics, so now would still be a good time to get involved. We have several web sites that you can visit to get an overview of what we want to accomplish and what we have done so far. * The JCP organization main page for JSR 362: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=362 * On the JSR 362 project page, you can find high-level bullet items of proposed topics: https://java.net/projects/portletspec3. * For now, at least, we will be developing the Portlet Specification 3 interfaces using Github as a source repository: https://github.com/msnicklous/portletspec3 . We want to start with the repository for the interface code on github because several of the JSR 362 EG members (including myself!) have not been active on Apache and in particular are not committers to the Apache Portals project , but are active on github. Being hosted on github will make it easier for all EG members to make contributions. With the Apache Portals project hosting the Pluto Reference Implementation and interface code for the previous JSR 286 & JSR 168 versions of the portlet specification, I think it would be very good if members of the Apache Portals project would participate in the development of the Portlet Specification Version 3.0. I would also like to address hosting for the JSR 362 work. There is a near-term and longer-term component to this question. In the near term there is need for hosting the evolving interface code that will eventually become the Portlet Specification 3.0 interface. To begin with, there are changes to be made that involve clarifications and corrections to the JSR 286 specification. Later, changes and additions will need be made to address new technical themes. The interface code for the current JSR 286 specification is hosted in the Apache Portals project SVN repository under portlet_spec/portlet-api_2.0_spec. The JSR 362 interface code is currently hosted on github, but eventually I think it should be hosted under the Apache Portals project, since versions 1.0 & 2.0 of the spec are already hosted here. I would be interested in your ideas about when & how the interface code should be hosted on Apache. In the longer term, I would like to explore the possibility of hosting the JSR 362 Portlet Specification 3.0 reference implementation and TCK under the Pluto project. Would you be interested in hosting this and participating in the development of the JSR 362 RI & TCK? Since the JSR 362 effort is at an early stage, it will probably be some time before any work would start, but I wanted get your ideas on this early on. There would be several ways of getting involved: 1) You can follow the deliberations of the JSR 362 EG by keeping up to date with the project website and subscribing to the JSR 362 Observers mailing list at: https://java.net/projects/portletspec3/lists . The jsr362-observers list is open to all, and all posts to the jsr362-experts list are automatically mirrored to the observers list, so you won't miss anything by subscribing to that list. The project site also hosts the current version of the spec itself along with accompanying documentation (have alook at the wiki and download pages on that site). 2) You may wish to become members of the JSR 362 Expert group. There are certain formalities involved, since JCP processes have to be followed, but if you are interested, I would be happy to explore this possibility with you. 3) You can post your ideas for new features here, or send them to me. I see that there is an issue tracker for Pluto, but I have to admit that I haven't examined the items to determine whether it contains new feature requests or potential spec corrections that the JSR 362 EG needs to take into account (I'm new to Apache, so please bear with me). I would be very interested in your ideas for improvements and new features for the Portlet Specification 3.0 and also in your views on the organizational topics mentioned above. I hope this mail finds your interest, and I look forward to working with you.
