Have you seen the jahia project at www.mycomponents.com? I think this grew
out of Jetspeed - certainly many of the developers were the same - and it
shares the Portlet philosophy. They seem to have tried to turn it into a
commercial venture though, and it's open source status is a little
uncertain - I asked them to send me the code a while back and they
wouldn't.
