Did some QA of the Sakai JSR-168 portlet support with Marcus Chirstie and Marlon Pierce of Indiana Unviersity. Found a bug and decided that we needed Help and Edit mode support. Off goes two solid hacking days :)
But code yeilds eventually and I just committed the stuff. Interestingly – this makes my todo list for 168 realy short – and just in time for code freeze.
To test, do this
check out a copy of sakai
The also check out the portlets into the source directory:
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn//portlet/trunk/ portlet
and them compile it .
The Sakai Test Portlet shows up in the site list.
