[Springframework-developer] Portlet MVC Status

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

It's been over a month since this discussion and there is still no 
progress on merging together the contributions to the Portlet MVC 
framework.  Several of us are working with this framework on critical 
projects and would really like to start moving it forward in a reliable 
direction.

Would it be better for us to start a separate sourceforge or java.net 
project for this until we can work on merging back into Spring proper, 
or is there some light at the end of this tunnel?
