While the "official" work on the Portlet support are postponed to Spring
1.3 I still would like to have a place for discussions and code
contributions. At this time the discussion is spread across this list,
the forum, confluence, and JIRA, which makes it hard to follow.

As for discussions, I would propose to stick to this list - we *are*
talking about Spring development, and this way the experienced Spring
developers may take the opportunity to participate.

As for code contributios: during the past couple of month several people
(William, Nick, John, and me) have contributed some code, but after each
contribution there was a big gap. One reason might be that it's very
inconvenient to get the up-to-date version of the code (none of the
changes made it into CVS; you have to fetch the sandbox version and copy
the content of several zip files from confluence). Without a proper code
management facility it's pointless to add more contributions.

I'm undecided wether portlet support should be part of main Spring or a
sub project, but for the time being it would really help if the portlet
code would be located at a place where all interested people could find
the up-to-date version and contribute enhancements. When the official
work in the Spring 1.3 context begins, this code could be an
implementation base for any portlet code handled in the traditional way.

What do you think?
