Thanks Eric. The 2.0 architecture doc is located in the uPortal Architecture Overview page of the Jasig wiki. PDF and Word versions of the document are available at the bottom of the page. Here is the link to that page.
https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/uPortal+Architecture+Overview I am going to start with writing JSR-286 portlets first and see how far I can go. I want to write those portlets using Vaadin (http://vaadin.com/), which I am not sure if it is possible, but I want to try anyway. Has anyone done this? A couple other things that I am thinking about: - Add collapsible panels, similar to the kind you find in Eclipse, to the left and right hand sides of portal pages. These panels could be used for things such as context sensitive help. These panels may or may not contain portlets. - Programmatically adding a bunch of portlets and creating portal pages (tabs) that users cannot remove. - Adding regular JSP pages to the portal framework so that some tabs are regular JSP pages, and others are portlet pages. - Making the page customization panel (the one for adding portlets to a page) longer so that it shows more than two rows of portlets.

As for help customizing uPortal 4.0, the best place to start is this list. Outline the customization to the framework you're interested in doing and we can point you in the right direction. -Eric On 10/03/2011 10:41 AM, Chung Wu wrote: Hi, > > >I am trying out uPortal 4.0.
