Progress on the newly defined uPortal 3 continues rapidly. Susan Bramhall and Dan Ellentuck updated uPortal 3 to use the stand-alone Person Directory API and are continuing to do the same for the Groups and Permissions APIs. Pluto 1.1 integration is the only required remaining feature before a release candidate and good progress is being made. Of course, uPortal 3 will be even better if it can contain any of a number of available optional features, which will be more or less included depending on involvement of additional developers. It is never too late to jump in on uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org to and get involved with development.
