portlets. The goal of this project is to provide a scalable, flexible, and 
reliable portal framework, not bible and weather portlets. 

But Portlets are what makes a portal useful. So being able to pick 80% of your 
portlet needs from a "out of the box" list of portlets is a bonus and reduces 
the time to get started.

Even if you don't provide portlets yourself, I think that you should provide a 
list of sources for those portlets.

portlets to the LGPL table. ;-)

Like a list of those ones...

portal effort with us.

That's nice. But after all, what really counts are the answers to the 
questions: "Can system xyz get the job done better than the others? Can I use 
it for my specific needs? Does it provide the functions and features I need?"

And right now I am not so sure about JBoss Portal.

In order words: If I do a bit of configuration in eXo or Liferay, I can SEE 
results and with my own eyes I can see that large fractions of my portal needs 
are met already.
With JBoss Portal I see mainly promises at the moment.

portal.

How is Liferay different? Is the only issue the question whether or not it is 
spec compliant? Or is there more to it?

Thanks
