Hmm, There are parts of if that will work standalone, like the /flat and /widgets parts, but the persistence service and data service sdata does have bindings to the whole of the Sakai code base, which is about 2M lines of code. Its going to be a little hard to detach from that code base since it manages sessions, authZ, groups, announcements, authentication etc and all the other services.
So, if you have about 2G of disk free on a box with about 2G of ram 1 for eclipse, 1 for tomcat, and a few hours free, then you could go for a full build, but thats not for the lighthearted, and it *will* be painful... it takes at least 30 minutes to build from scratch. At the moment, I dont have time to do a cut down build, of sdata ontop of Jackrabbit only, but it might be possible in July if the client side code does look interesting. The persistence store in /flat and /widgets could relatively easily be replaced by anything that will do PUT and GET and multipart POST Bear in mind, that this does *not* contain a gadget server or open social at the moment and is only a portal layout manager with its own concept of widget (an abstraction of gadget) within which gadgets can be placed. If you want more information, one of the developers has been keeping a blog on the work http://nicolaasmatthijs.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/flexible-dashboard-layout/ Ian 2008/6/9 Tyrell Perera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > Thanks Ian, > > Will it be possible to post a link to a build (.zip or .war) of your > portal?
