As of release 1.4b1, Jetspeed is no longer coupled to the Turbine Security
system.
Jetspeed now uses a pluggable security system:

Yes. See this interface:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/api/org/apache/jetspeed/services/security
/PortalAccessController.html

Many of the portlets are derived from a customizable Velocity portlet:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/api/org/apache/jetspeed/portal/portlets/C
ustomizerVelocityPortlet.html
See the Portlet Catalog for a list of documented Portlets (all of the
portlets are not documented in the registry):
http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/catalog.html
and the Portlet registries for a complete list:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-jetspeed/webapp/WEB-INF/conf/portlets.

Yes, this is possible.
Logon as admin/jetspeed, and try the Security tab to setup security
constraints for users.
The PSML Browser on the third tab (Admin) allows you to customize all users'
PSML.
I've put some bug fixes in recently to the browser. Its probably best to use
this from the cvs head.

Jetspeed is very much based on Turbine right now.
It uses Turbine services, modules, actions extensively.
Knowing Turbine you should pick it up easily.

We try to keep all the docs current
