It is not our intention to make it much harder than that for sure, but with the many enhancements for JSR-286 some changes will indeed be needed at your side too for upgrading to Pluto 2.0
I fully expect this - I just want to make it clear that I am also completely happy if the SPI needs further changes to meet Jetspeed's needs. Put another way - if getting Sakai to 2.0 is a little harder because the SPI changed to meet Jetspeed 2's needs - this will not make me unhappy. On the contrary - it will make me quite *happy* - because the more folks that consume the SPI - the better the SPI becomes. SPIs are not like APIs - they tend to have to grow and adjust to new, unimagined use cases almost all the time.
We'll do our best to maintain as much of the current integration support, just make it possible and easier to also integrate on the level we need for Jetspeed. Any insight and opinion you might have on that while we lay out our plans will be much appreciated!
Thanks - I will be lurking like always and offer help when I can. /Chuck
