Prowler is another open-source EIP project whose main focus is to provide 
an industrial strength XML content management system. 

As such there are several synergies possible with Jetspeed:
- use Jetspeed as the interface to Prowler repositories (and other
  data sources as well)
- Jetspeed may also use Prowler content management system in its
  implementation for managing its configuration and preferences 
  documents.

I've alreay notified the prowler list that they are most welcome to
participate in the Portlet API discussion so that we can be sure
to integrate with their content management system.
