Anyone compiling bullet agenda items yet? I know Andrew mentioned on the list so...Anyone compiling bullet agenda items yet? I know Andrew mentioned on the list some issues like friendly URLs, bookmarkable URLs for channels, tabs, etc., Googleability, etc. Which I would like to see covered.
Also, I'd like to maybe add a note about developing some kind of standard convention/API hooks to allow Channels/Portlets to provide pointers to resources like images or CSS files which could then be integrated into CSS based skins...
