Comment: noted idea of doing skin compile work asynchronously with rendering, by performing as task on a non-render thread.

...

  • Expand the number of skin variables and possibly include images or other elements to allow the skin to be more heavily configured.
  • Allow the administrator to 'preview' the skin changes in a way that only the administrator sees the affects of the changes until the skin changes are persisted.
  • Enhance the security infrastructure to limit the users who can configure a skin so a delegated administrator can affect only their skin and not other tenant's skins.
  • Expand to a database-driven strategy where the skin is stored in the database and not necessarily on the file system.

Opportunities for consideration

  • Move skin compilation into an asynchronous task on a non-render thread, getting the details right so that uPortal rendering does not block on in-process skin (re-)compilation and users do not get half-baked in-process skin artifacts during skin (re-)compilation.
