Q3 portals report

[Santiago Gala <sg...@apache.org>]

Report Q3

- JSR-286 keeps going. There was discussion 
  because the JSR-286 lead had contracted 
  a reference implementation of the changes 
  to pluto to be developed by a University, that was
  using Apache branding in a confusing way, and 
  there were concerns about a code dump 
  similar to the one that happened when JSR-168 
  was going on. Concerns seem resolved, and the
  development will talke place in a branch in portals
  SVN.
- Development keeps going on as usual, with
  some areas stronger than other. Several releases
  are ongoing.
- WSRP4J still is quiescent. Maybe the remaining IP
  issues in Oasis. Not sure. Community wise it looks
  like global interest on it is decaying
- Graffito got new committers, perspectives look
  good towards graduation
- The chair is too busy, and finds no longer rewarding 
  the administrative work required to keep portals
  tidy. I'm resigning as soon as other person is elected
  that can take the position. The PMC will propose a 
  name to the Board soon.
