Great work Jen! I'll be talking to the schools I work with suggesting they put it in their portals.

One idea is perhaps a jasig-portlets-user and jasig-portlet-dev list to consolidate a bit as we don't have much portlet related email traffic on any list as of yet.?

I suspect that portlet-specific infrastructure makes the possibility of our really cool "XXX" portlet also looking open to deployers on non-uPortal platforms, wheras jasig-portlets feels like it's a JA-SIG specific portlet bundle.

+1 from me for consolidated email lists (Eric's version) -- also for consolidated JIRA & Confluence space, etc. At least, I suggest that small, general-purpose JA-SIG portlets -- harmless ones that most schools should at least consider deploying -- can share an infrastructure. Anything big or specific, like SIS integrations or perhaps a suite of personal data tools that work together, probably can and should be separate.

Insisting that every portlet must have its own version of these resources seems like a big barrier to entry for a little portlet. I'm afraid it will influence folks to hold on to things they might have contributed.

And if you create a new email list for each portlet, who will sign up? I suspect each individual portlet won't generate much traffic -- keeping them together means that anyone who subscribes will get some good info about new portlets or cool new features in existing ones.
