[uportal-dev] Subscribe to Formatted Tab Functionality

[Hunt, Mary]

Yale has the requirement to allow users to subscribe to a preformatted tab, and 
we are planning to implement this new functionality.   We push specific Home 
tab content to Yale staff, faculty and students based on their primary roles at 
the University.  However, some people need to have access to content for other 
roles.  For example, Staff who support faculty want to view the Faculty home 
page. Some Faculty members have staff roles, and need access to both Faculty 
and Staff home pages. Faculty may want to view the Student home page.   
Access to the Home tab for a different role is often view only, but there are 
situations in which a link on another Home page is needed.

I have a proof of concept working and have described the basic design at  
http://tp.its.yale.edu/confluence/display/YIP/Subscribe+to+Preformatted+Tab+%28YIP-516%29.

I am interested to hear if you are interested in similar functionality, or have 
suggestions to improve the design.  We will gladly contribute back to the core 
product if there is interest.

[uportal-dev] Document Caching Interest

[Hunt, Mary]

Yale is considering developing a document caching retriever will actively 
retrieve external content such as RSS feeds, XML, etc. This cacher is different 
from layout caching in that it caches the source document versus the render 
document.  Cached documents would be restricted to those that include 
non-personalized information and that do not require authentication.


The active document cacher has two purposes:

* To protect the portal from broken content feeds (timeouts, slow response)
* To improve the responsiveness of the portal

We are wondering if others are interested in this functionality or if you have 
other use cases where it would be applicable.
