Notes

  • probably first implement a simple "give me an HTML fragment"
  • groups would be nice (e.g. assign publishing rights to users/groups)
  • history & revisions would be nice
  • HTML shorthand/wysywig would be nice
  • at what point to do stop adding features (e.g. I envision stopping short of building a CMS into uPortal)
  • are there existing Wiki/JSR-170 portlets we could grab for this functionality?
