No problem and thanks for getting in contact. Checkout this doco that I
just created and let me know any feedback[1].

Thanks,

Cool, thanks Tim.  One fairly obvious thing to note is that by dropping your code in there's a bit of a naming conflict between the navigation portlet and navigation viewlet -- I resolved it by making separate NavigationPortlet and NavigationViewlet classes and updated main.pt

Will you be checking this into svn?  I think it would be quite helpful, as this is fairly standard functionality and a bit non-obvious to new users like myself.
