Just before the American Thanksgiving break last week, we launched a new community on java.net: the Portlet Community. There are two hosted projects and a linked project there already, plus one in the queue of new project requests.

I have a backlog of about forty new project requests to tackle today, even after sending ten or so to community leaders for their approval last night. None of those forty are for Portlet, but may be portlet projects we need to rediscover in the general projects area and move into the Portlet Community.

The leader of the Portlet Community is Navaneeth Krishnan, a Sun employee who works in Bangalore, India. I've enjoyed working with Navaneeth on the community, in spite of the twelve hour time shift. I'm glad that I've been to the Bangalore office once, because it always helps to be able to visualize, at least somewhat, where on earth an otherwise virtual person actually is living and working. Navaneeth is a great addition to our community of community leaders on java.net.

You can read about the Portlet Community in Navaneeth's blog.
