Most of the people I've dealt with don't find the freebie portlets useful at all. They do very little of the heavy lifting, and other OS portals seem to offer a bucket of google and toy portlets that I find quite useless, atm. "scrut" wrote : | 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?" So why don't you articulate your needs, instead of asking broad and general questions?

The freebie portlets they have are intimately tied to their struts-portal-architecture, so portability is a no-no.
