Just a short comment on OpenCms...

I don�t think merging boths systems is a good idea
(I�ve worked with both, hence also my small project on the
OCS site on how to integrate Velocity)

OCS follows a completely different route.

a) First it is under LGPL so basically an integration is possible
but not under the Apache license for the full system.

b) The philosophy is different. OpenCMS bascially builts an entire web
infrastructure upon an RDB... that basically means it simulating a file
system and puts a frontpage like infrastructure on top of it 
to enable an experienced user to edit and manage the content.
I think if you�ve ever seen OpenCms in action you know what I mean.

This doesn�t really blend to well with the rather lightweigt approach
Jetspeed follows (and which I personally prefer).

You could build up a portal content infrastructure on top of opencms, by
sharing
the content tables and then having them served by jetspeed, but I don�t
really
think the effort really is worth it. OpenCMS is a powerful system and
works
very well if you can handle it (it needs a lot of tweaking before
you really can roll it out)

But the philopsophies of both systems are simply completely different.
OpenCMS is not a content management where you just serve the content
(you have to build something on top of that) its more an Infrastructure
to enable you
to build such systems. Whereas Jetspeed is a portal which just serves
the content
which might be fed into it by a CMS System.
