RE: [wsrp-wsia] [I#164] An entity SHOULD support help,and CAN su pport edit
Hello,

 

It 
would seem that we have to describe what the edit mode is for (personalization?) 
in unambiguous terms somewhere. Sometimes, I am a bit afraid that we are using a 
lot of "SHOULDS" to cover uncertainty and ambiguity when it is up to us to know 
(or at least act like we know) the right answer.

 

Thoughts?

 

Take 
care.

A MUST of this sort would need to really describe what 
  "personalization" is, and I wouldn't want to go to that route! With a SHOULD, 
  I think we can go with a vague definition of 
  "personalization".

Hello,

    
 

    
Perhaps, "...MUST support edit mode if it allows 
    personalization?"

    
 

    
Take care.

I second this. Many entities simply do not have 
      (need) an edit mode. A "Top business news" portlet may not be 
      personalizable.

      
Maybe the wording should be "... SHOULD support 
      edit mode if it allows personalization".

Title: An entity SHOULD support help, and CAN support 
        edit
Date Added: 1-Dec-2002
Document Section:   
        v0.85/5.10
Description:

        
In v0.85, an entity SHOULD support 
        both edit and help. I think SHOULD for edit is too strong a 
        recommendation, as it puts a fantastic burden on the portlets. As Help 
        is very simple to implement, I think the wording should be changed to: 
        "an entity SHOULD support help, and CAN support edit".
