[Vtigercrm-developers] cptiger - the new open source customer portal responsive for vtiger

[Prasad]

Alan,

We are focusing on leveraging the Vtiger API end as well based
on the intent gathered for CustomerPortal.

More I think about access-control - I feel Portal should know
better what it is offering than CRM.

Regards,
Prasad
