1: portlets that aggregate data
Posted by Nagita Karunaratne on 11/25/04 01:30 PM
If you wanted to add a portlet to .LRN that would collect information from packages mounted under its subgroups without mounting a package of that type under that communiity, would you put the portlets in the 'dotlrn-dotlrn', 'dotlrn-portlet' packages?

Also, anybody interested in functions that convert between Julian dates and ANSI dates? I had to convert some javascript functions to tcl these because they were not in acs-datetime.

Who maintains acs-datetime anyway?

You might create your own portlet, something like subgroup-agr-portlet and its dotlrn-* couple or so, or add the SC creation scripts + admin pages into 'dotlrn-dotlrn' & 'dotlrn-portlet'.

For acs-datetime, if you think that functions are useful, please create a bug request and make a patch, and someone will include those :)
