Reviewer‘s recommendations.

• It should be visible when a secure connection (space) is established and/or running.

• A more flexible combination of server and browser language.

• It is not clear how client creation is handled

• Would the consortium give Jetspeed portlets to the Open Source community?

• USP‘s of AESOP

• Legacy integration
