Portlet Packaging & Default Data

Mock data vs live demo data vs local data

The uMobile quickstart pulls in live data from a bunch of random places

If we start pulling in live data feeds we need to commit to update the portlets to provide better handling of error cases (missing data feeds, etc) so that generic errors aren't shown.

Look at more live demos of other Jasig projects and do integration of those.

How Publicize Portlets

Create a "Cutting a Portlet Release" page with steps to create a release and update all relevant pages
Move 'static' portlet release info to www.jasig.org and make the wiki page a more generic location for information about the portlet
