I've just landed a new Portlet Customizer (based on the VelocityPortlet of course...)
that can customize parameters for any existing portlet :

In order to take advantage of this, I've extended the registry format for parameters
to allow a more complex syntax, for example :

    <parameter name="stylesheet" value="/WEB-INF/xsl/rss.xsl">
      <security role="admin" />
    </parameter>

You can define a role that a user should possess to edit the parameter.

    <parameter name="showdescription" value="true" type="boolean">
      <meta-info>
        <title>Show description ?</title>
        <description>
          This parameters specify whether the item descriptions should be 
          displayed in this portlet, or only the headlines
        </description>
      </meta-info>
    </parameter>

You can add a standard <meta-info> block that is used by the customizer to display
meaningful information to the user rather than straight parameter names...

Also, type="boolean" is recognized by the customizer and creates a true/false select 
list
instead of a simple text input.
Other types are not yet supported.

[BTW, the parameter "itemdisplayed" does not seem to work for the RSS portlet, does 
anybody
know why ?]
