Having it as a screen will let have it become a portlet. I am working on a portlet/portal feature similar to the one JIRA has.
This will let every application that has defined a screen to offer that screen as a portlet to be added to a portal. A portal is a screen that is configured by the user picking up several portlets available in the system. Every user will have the possibility to define several portals. This will let us have a MyPage completely independent on the applications. ...but this is a different subject I will post about as soon as I have something more stable... -Bruno 2008/10/11 Bruno Busco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > The navigation panel could also have a section user definable. > So the user can select items he wants to have always handy. > > Could be: > > - Navigation panel - > > Your favourite items: > - Item 1 (a party) > - Item 2 > > Your recent items: > - Item 1 > - Item 2 > > 2008/10/11 Bruno Busco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> I would prefer to have this functionality implemented in a screen. >> >> The screen could later be shown in several ways.
