Hi Vic, > Sounds good to me.
Good. You are welcome to start analyzing Liferay's source code then. You can either download the source zip archive available here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=49260 or log in to the sourceforge cvs with this command: cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/lportal login I prefer logging into the CVS with an IDE. When you have questions about the source, please ask them in the mailing list for which you can subscribe at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lportal-development Thank you, Mete > > Mete Kural wrote: > > Hi Vic, > > > > I read your proposal.
