Ajax Desktop!!!

Checkout the new feature in Jetspeed 2.1 code... just go to
http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/desktop and you'll get a peek at the new ajax style portlet decorations.

It seems like the customers aren't there yet, but it certainly a great peak and great to see this sort of active development on jetspeed's core infrastructure. The admin portlets and the decorators and customization capability afforded users by the older style decoration was really starting to look pretty clunky compared to the the state of the art ajax user interfaces like Yahoo!Mail's Beta.
