Hi Paul, Do an academic search for "Information Workplace" and you'll return a ton of Forrester articles from a few years back, explaining their take (with research to back it up) on where portals were going back then.
They may have even updated those since I last researched them in 2007. I built a working conceptual prototype of an IW and have it laying around here somewhere, but the above search should take you to some useful information.

A few days ago I posted a question about existing materials out there on portal design (http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=47358#47358). I'm very surprised that there was no response. I'm starting a new thread rather than posting a second item to the same thread to ask a closely related question: Since there has been no response to my appeal, among the possibly thousands of readers on this discussion list, and since portal technology is pervasive these days, is it safe to conclude that a set of practical guidelines for the user-experience design of applications using portal technology represents a big void that needs to be filled?
