 237 - Portlet Control of user interface for control buttons

 

Rich broke this down into 2 separate parts:

Mike: will propose a logical definition of buttons needed and

these will be discussed in the email list.

====================================================================

 138 - How does info get to proxied resources?

 

Question: do we want to get this into version 1.0 of the spec.

Micheal feels that this would be needed in 1.0 only for support

of JSR-168. If that

 

====================================================================

 

All subgroups will wait until after the spec is complete before
