The concept is the same as Sourceforge: a user-centric portal view and a project-centric portal view. The project-centric view would be managed by the owner(s) of the project. Without looking into Jetspeed too deep, it seems that it is more geared for the user-centric than running both, unless I'm just underestimating the power of Jetspeed and its portlets..
Take a look at Sourceforge.net and consider the home page for a project offering the same functionally as a user homepage - managed portlets, etc. The only difference is that the project is managed by the owner, a user (but viewable by all). The user homepage would aggregate the data across the projects, which seems to me more of a data mgmt issue than a Jetspeed issue. Thoughts? Anyone doing something similiar?
