[Springframework-developer] Re: Portlet MVC - Status?

[John L. <jl...@ar...>]

Sorry for not weighing in on this sooner.

I agree that we really need to have a clear path for the portlet 
framework ASAP.  Both Rainer and I have a number of updates and 
improvements that we need to get merged together and made available as 
part of the formal code base.

Bill Thompson doesn't seem to be actively working on this anymore, so I 
don't think there is anyone with commit privileges that has this on 
their radar screen.

Juergen, I'm sure you guys are pretty busy working on getting 1.2 
released, but I think we really need some action on this soon.  I know 
we had several discussions about whether this should be part of Spring's 
core or some kind of sub-project.  Given that there are project like Web 
Flow that are dependent on it, that seems to point more towards it going 
into core.  How would you like to proceed on this?
