I made some progress here is the status for JSR-168. Pretty much all the big stuff is done (Broken reset was the last “blocker”). Here is status:
TODO:
Why to we register too many times?
Why do we doView more than once?
reference/docs/architecture – Update
JSR-168 Preferences – permanently persist in Tool Placement
Re-enable userInfo capabilities once Pluto 1.1.1 is released of we put it into the Sakai repo.
Nice to have
JSR-168 Edit Mode
JSR-168 Help Mode
DONE
PDA – Rename – Done 22111
Test Portlet – Done
Test CSS – Done
Reset – Fixed
PDA Presence – Fixed
My cool SVN statement – merged a branch all by myself!
svn merge -r 21991:HEAD https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn//portal/branches/experimental_portal_branch/
The rest of this is just notes form my desktop.
