DRAFT - This is a document in progress and contains material from the Spring Roadmap which should not be considered official until this notice has been removed. |
This document is intended to document uPortal Framework development planned to occur over the next 6 months (until the Spring 2008 Conference). The following branches are slated for active development. Unless otherwise stated, new features listed in a lower numbered release can be expected to also be incorporated into any higher number releases – e.g. 2.5.x features can be expected to also be present in 2.6.x. Which features are targeted for a specific branch is determined by the Release Strategy
uPortal 3.0
Release Engineering: Eric Dalquist
uPortal 3.x is an independent development branch currently located in the JA-SIG sandbox. It represents a complete re-architecture of the uPortal framework. While it is expected to encompass most of the featureset of uPortal 2.x, it is a separate codebase, and work items listed above do not apply to uP 3.x. This release is incomplete, undergoing active development, and may change at any time. It is NOT recommended for production deployment at this time. While a migration path from uPortal 2.x is a high-priority work item for the uP 3.x project, backwards compatibility is NOT guaranteed, and significant work may be required to migrate existing installations.

UW Webproxy Portlet
UW Does not have resources to complete separating out their local modifications to the Webproxy portlet to enable it to run in a stock uPortal environment, but would be able to volunteer assistance & guidance if someone else was able to commit to doing so. |
