NOTE:  This document details features that could be incorporated but have no 
current plans for implementation.  If you would like to work on any of these
please volunteer.

****************** BLUE SKY (no particular release schedule ********************

- Make NNTP (any JavaMail provider) into a portlet

- Mail-XSP and integrate it with my current messaging

- iCalendar Support

- Project Support

     - turbine authentication
     - turbine connection pooling installed, need to 
         handle command-line database application connections
         before checking in
     - automated form generation 50% complete
     - automated form result handling
     - arrange forms on pages
     - Cocoon/portlet design, remove static xhtml pages/tags
     - auto email capability for notes, state change notifications

- ability to graph data sets.  They have the ability to take multiple points 
  of data (probably using Excel and a pivot table or something) and building 
  a graph.  We should do something like this with SVG and maybe stock quotes 
  when we can get the data.

- They have project management... (Sandy... hint hint :)

- They are ahead of us on their layout.  BTW if anyone can get some JavaScript 
  that works with drag and drop like this on Netscape and IE you can have my 
  first born child:  http://www.microsoft.com/solutions/km/dd_2.gif

- They have a virtual workspace.

- we should have the ability to "undock" a Portlet from 
  the main page and have it floating from the browser.

- we should include the ability to "dock" external URLs 
  within Jetspeed.  Neeme talked about this with a remote 
  Portlet but I am not sure they are exactly the same.  
  We should also exclude any <script> tags.

- We need to have more support for browser specific issues.  
  The mozilla sidebar and the ability to dock ActiveX controls 
  as Portlets.  Under windows at least this could mean looking
  at the registry.  The data is there we would just need our
  own ActiveX control to introspect it.
