How to add versioning
Release notes is completely optional. Not having these preferences will keep uPortal behaving the same as pre-marketplace.

The only portlet-preference needed is Version. Without this, the release date and release notes won't show. If for some reason, the value in version is left blank, this section will not show.
Release Date is optional. If not added, nothing will show. If for some reason, the value is blank, but the preference is still there, this will not show. Release Release date is a Joda Time DateTime field. The value of it should be "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss".
Release Notes is optional and also can be of any length. After 3 notes, the front end will not show until the more button is clicked on the entry page. When clicked, all notes will be shown and the link will change text to 'Less'. When clicked, this will once again hide the extra notes, and the text will once again display 'More'. If any value is blank, a blank line with a dash will appear.

Ratings!
Ratings are shown to the user on the entry page of a portlet. User can select 1-5. Also, every portlet can be rated via the options menu! 1 rating per person per fname is allowed. When the rating star system is displayed, it shows what the user had previously rated. Of course, a user can always update their ratings and the appropriate places are updated.
