To encourage the contribution of portlets within the Jasig community and to offer assistance to portlet developers, Jasig has defined the role of the Portlet Release Manager.

Responsibilities of the Portlet Release Manager include the following:

  • Help define, review, and document release requirements and best practices for adopted Jasig portlets
  • Help define, review, and document portlet development best practices to encourage implementation of JSR-168/JSR-286 standards and compatibility with multiple portlet containers and versions
  • Assist developers in transitioning their portlets from incubation to adoption
  • Assist developers in effectively using Jasig portlet project resources such as the Jasig parent POM and maven repository
  • Coordinate with the uPortal release manager, developers, and Steering Committee to recommend and update the portlets and portlet versions shipped with uPortal releases
  • As the community defines requirements for a standalone portlet bundle, assist with managing and releasing that hypothetical future product
