Hello list,

I'm looking for some people to contribute to a manual/tutorial about the
Plone 3 portlets infrastructure. We already have doctests, a blog post and
some docs at plone.org, but that's not enough. See
http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7666 .

We need a doc about:

   - What exactly is a portlet?
   - What's the difference between a portlet and a viewlet, and when should
   I use each one?
   - How does Plone look up and render portlets (process)?
   - How do I create a new portlet? (hands-on tutorial)
   - How do I assign portlets to my site, globally, locally, to groups, to
   users...?
   - How do I customize the way portlets are shown (order, blacklisting,
   etc.)?
   - ...anything else...

As you may see this goes beyond just theming (and not "collides" with
theming) and involves a lot of coding.

If you're interested in contributing, or have some ideas about what else to
include (or what not), please reply to this post, mail me directly, comment
the bug, or catch me at irc.freenode.org/#plone. Thanks!

Best,
-- israel
