About this JA-SIG Portlet Project
Originally written in 2007 by Matt Young and Ren Provey of Duke University and presented in the 2007 JA-SIG conference.
Usage Documentation
Objectives and requirements
Functional
- Can retrieve facebook information and display information in a user friendly format
Technical
- Needs review: Is it a standards-compliant JSR-168 portlet?
- Needs review: Does it have what JA-SIG would consider to be modular design and APIs?
- Needs review: Uses Spring PortletMVC and appropriate Spring practices (It uses Spring, but haven't checked on PortletMVC or if Spring use is appropriate for uPortal.)
- Builds with Ant
- Needs (more) unit tests
Cultural
- A collaborative open source project under the auspices of JA-SIG
- Can be used commercially and non-commercially
- Produces actual production-ready releases, not just a code drop or a project that exclusively lives in SVN (Note: for now we would appreciate some help in this, and Jen of Yale offered to help until Duke has time to help develop it)
Participants
Committers
Committership is a social contract
Commitership in JA-SIG SVN is both a technical fact (having the right account set up in JA-SIG SVN configuration) and a social contract (the understanding and agreement among developers that this person will be committing to some particular portion of JA-SIG shared collaborated-upon source code.) Presently, technically, any member of the "everyone" group is able to commit changes to this portlet project in SVN. That doesn't mean everyone "is a committer" in the sense of committership on this project. Cf., technically, any member of the "everyone" group in JA-SIG SVN is able to commit changes to uPortal, but it would be a surprise and likely inappropriate for an "everyone" member who has never before committed to the uPortal project to make unexpected changes. |
