Jetspeed ships with sample content only and there are few examples of "end-user/portal-user editable portlets". I'm sure there's something resembling what you're looking for that someone developed.

This could become a reality with Jetspeed-2 and industry standard portlet API.

This "piece of software" also calls itself "open source" and is based on voluntary contributions. It would be nice of you, Al, to enter this enhancement request in Bugzilla and perhaps someone will pick this up in their spare time.
