[Portland] Re: Basic cross-desktop requirements for ISVs

[Alex Graveley]

Thanks Rajesh!

I've created an initial Portland wiki page at 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Portland with in intro blurb mostly from 
Waldo Bastian.  Feel free to massage this.

I've imported this list (with some massaging) from our meeting into 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/PortlandIntegrationTasks.  Let's use 
this as a scratch pad for working out the detailed requirements for each 
task, as best we can.
