The OpenSSO Project is soliciting feedback on their Early Access Build -- OpenSSO Express Build 5. With the release of this build, community members now have the opportunity to participate in the Early Access (EA) program for Sun's next commercial offering. Review the Early Access documentation and hammer away at Express Build 5! Send your EA feedback to opensso.eafeedback@dev.java.net so we can make the product perfect. Thanks in advance!

Gail has announced that there is now a Developer FAQ to complement the User FAQ. Please contribute your Qs and your As.

Interesting news afoot! Dave and Janne report that the JSPWiki commiters have voted to submit JSPwiki to ASF as an incubator project (check out the Manifesto and the Proposal). JSPwiki is used by the wikis from GlassFish, OpenPortal, OpenDS, Open-ESB and many other sites. JSPWiki is also Integrated with Roller.

It will be interesting to see how the presence of this effort will impact the wiki landscape. I know I'd like to see a very easy-to-install version on GlassFish v3 not too far in the future.

Apache's wiki has a page comparing various Web Services stacks. GlassFish's JAX-WS scores fairly well thanks to the WSIT project (aka Tango) and even better now that the wiki page was updated to reflect the new Spring and JSON support in JAX-WS 2.1. We need to have some similar comparison for the entire AppServer. Most of the questions we all had at JavaOne were about why GlassFish should be chosen over JBoss, Weblogic, or Tomcat and a comparison chart would help people choose and convince their management. Feel free to contribute! Web Services is just one of the many reasons.

Thanks to Jamey, the GlassFish wiki has moved. The new location is wiki.glassfish.java.net and reflects better its relationship to the community site (glassfish.java.net). It will also fit better with other community sites we are considering offering. The old URL, glassfishwiki.org will redirect to the new location but let us know if you see any problems. The next step is to consolidate all relevant wikis (mostly the TWikis from the "*.dev.java.net" projects) into the new site. After that we will improve the content and presentation in preparation for JavaOne and GlassFish Day.

It's no secret that JSPWiki runs well on GlassFish. In fact, it's what we use to run the the project's own wiki. Others have previously written instructions for running JSPWiki on GlassFish, but it's probably safe to say that none have gone into as much depth as Dennis Gesker. He has just published a complete recipe which documents each step in getting from a blank OS to a working Wiki (including installation of the JDK and GlassFish, database configuration, JSPWiki application deployment, and more).

We continue to add content to the New GlassFish Community Wiki. The site is not yet officially open (in particular the URLs are not necessarily stable) but the development team is using it regularly for their day-to-day work. Recent additions include updated Build Information, the Extras Catalog (including Frameworks, Applications and Tools) and the Glosssary of CLI Commands.

Feedback on the site can be sent to Wiki mailing list, with the caveat that you may be asked to volunteer :-). Two useful pages are Recent Changes and PageIndex.

We use JSPWiki in our GlassFish Wiki and we are a happy customer (BTW, contact us if you Want to Help). We are using the latest JSPWiki (2.4.x); Senthil configured the Wiki on GlassFish V1 and his latest blog describes the installation steps in detail.
