I met Sun colleague James Falkner for the first time on the phone yesterday and had a good chat about his work with Project WebSynergy, an initiative within the OpenPortal project. Coincidentally, it was just announced Wednesday that Project WebSynergy Stable Build 2 is now available for download:

“In May of this year, Sun and Liferay announced a partnership to jointly develop next generation enterprise portal technology. The Sun portal team has since begun the rollout of “Project WebSynergy,” codename for the initiative to release a product based on this common technology.

“The Project WebSynergy team is now proud to make its Stable Build 2 available for download! This release represents a significant milestone for the project, incorporating a number of new features, improvements, and a general enhancements over the last stable build.”

It is encouraging to see the innovation occurring as bright Sun people team with bright folks at Liferay to build a remarkable solution. I look forward to some more exciting stuff coming down the pike.
