[uportal-dev] Portal Registration Portlet

[Eric Dalquist]

The last uPortal steering committee meeting had some very good feedback from several sources about Jasig needing to do a better job keeping track of portal deployments. To that end there have been some discussions on the IRC channel that I thought I'd post about here. There is a wiki page describing the plan and design: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Automated+Portal+Registration

The first step is something that we're going to try and get into the 3.1.0 release. It will be a portlet designated for the admin view that provides a simple form for the administrator to fill out some information about their install and some checkboxes about automatically discovered data. The admin can then submit this information to a small webapp that will reside on www.ja-sig.org. Handling the data would then be up to the steering committee to deal with. Including this at the last minute is a tough call but as the new code will be in no way critical for uPortal to run the risk versus the reward is worth it. We would very much like feedback on this though. Please review the wiki page first and any comments, questions or suggestions are more than welcome.
