> The proposal for portals.apache.org is based on bringing together

>
> 1. Jetspeed
> 2. Jetspeed-2
> 3. Pluto
> 4. WSRP-4J
> 5. Portlet Applications ....
>
> These projects would be moved out of jakarta.apache.org and into
> portals.apache.org for ex portals.apache.org/jetspeed or
> portals.apache.org/pluto
>
> Goals of portals.apache.org:
>
> 1. To promote the use of portlet applications. We view portlets as an
> important technology in the growing portal and web application
> environments. We intend to build freely available portlet
> applications, portal servers, and portlet containers in order to
> promote the use of this technology.
> 2. To encourage developers from all Apache portal projects to work
> together and share common code
> 3. To develop Portlet Applications and Portlet Application frameworks
> at portals.apache.org and grow the portal community here. Portlet
> Applications will be managed as sub-projects.
> Portal Applications will enable a higher level of application
> development while cleanly separating the development of
> portals such as
> Jetspeed from applications code.
> 4. To provide a community for portal-related Java and XML
> standards and
> reference implementations under the ASF license at portals.apache.org
>
> Note that I have cross-posted to all three (Jetspeed, Pluto, and
> WSRP4J) mailing lists.
> To respond across mailing lists, respond to ALL.
> Not sure if this is the best solution, since Im going to receive 3
> emails being that Im a member of all 3 lists.
> But this allows for a cross-discussions between the three developer
> groups on this thread.
> (I will also post this same message to the 3 user lists tomorrow.)

> Regarding Cocoon's portal, I don't understand Cocoon's portal well

> I have doubts that they would want to decouple from Cocoon, but you
> don't know until you ask.
> Of course the Cocoon community is welcome and we should discuss how
> this can happen.
