About this JA-SIG Portlet Project

Originally written in 2007 by Matt Young and Ren Provey of Duke University and presented in the 2007 JA-SIG conference.

Usage Documentation

Objectives and requirements

Functional

  • Can retrieve facebook information and display information in a user friendly format

Technical

  • Needs review: Is it a standards-compliant JSR-168 portlet?
  • Needs review: Does it have what JA-SIG would consider to be modular design and APIs?
  • Needs review: Uses Spring PortletMVC and appropriate Spring practices (It uses Spring, but haven't checked on PortletMVC or if Spring use is appropriate for uPortal.)
  • Builds with Ant
  • Needs (more) unit tests

Cultural

  • A collaborative open source project under the auspices of JA-SIG
  • Can be used commercially and non-commercially
  • Produces actual production-ready releases, not just a code drop or a project that exclusively lives in SVN (Note: for now we would appreciate some help in this, and Jen of Yale offered to help until Duke has time to help develop it)

Participants

Committers

Committership is a social contract

Commitership in JA-SIG SVN is both a technical fact (having the right account set up in JA-SIG SVN configuration) and a social contract (the understanding and agreement among developers that this person will be committing to some particular portion of JA-SIG shared collaborated-upon source code.) Presently, technically, any member of the "everyone" group is able to commit changes to this portlet project in SVN. That doesn't mean everyone "is a committer" in the sense of committership on this project. Cf., technically, any member of the "everyone" group in JA-SIG SVN is able to commit changes to uPortal, but it would be a surprise and likely inappropriate for an "everyone" member who has never before committed to the uPortal project to make unexpected changes.

Here are enumerated the people believed to be committers for this project:
