Kevin, I know you must be awfully busy, but could you expand a little
more on this suggestion, and its drawbacks? FWIW, I don't mind at all
writing Java code; actually, I expect it to be necessary . Anyway,
if I'm reading you correctly, it should be possible to:
* Write a portal-like site with Jetspeed.
* Automatically connect to "news-like" sources of information (Slashdot,
NY Times, whatever) using the Jetspeed facilities.
* Have one of these "sources of information" actually be a Cocoon-based
app that links to whatever legacy system I want to integrate.

I didn't understand what you said here...
One more thing: do you agree with this assertion by Rapha�l Luta?
> Jetspeed is not an application or publication framework. I don't see

Thanks for all the useful input,
