Eric,
Good question. Here's a quick overview of where we're at from the
client side:
* Fluid 0.1 had a bug in it that prevented nested Reorderers from
working happily together. Michelle D'Souza managed to commit a fix for
this before the holidays, so this problem should now be resolved.
* We need to minimize our JavaScript footprint by removing the rest of
Dojo from the Reorderer. We've had much better luck with jQuery, and
it's generally a bit smaller. Should make for lighter download times
for the portal. This work is about half-finished.
* Anastasia has an in-progress branch with part of the functionality
required for this Fluid portlet layout manager. It's available here: https://source.fluidproject.org/svn/fluid/components/branches/FLUID-49/
Anastasia's core change was to write a new layout handler that uses
the layout JSON object sent down from the portal.
* We've got to make a couple of API changes to the layout handler to
make this code a cleaner and simpler.
* Gary Thompson and Shaw-Han Liem are working on making this really
easy to use. We've got a new design pattern that outlines some of the
considerations, and they're working on new wireframes to ensure the
interaction is simple and discoverable.

We've been a bit behind schedule on this work, but it is now our top
priority for the new year.
Have a great holiday,
Colin

Anastasia, Jen,
Just wondering what the status of looking into using the Fluid
reorderer for uPortal 3 is.
Thanks,
