I'd be in favor of a link management system. We have a handful of portlets
that are just dedicated to displaying lists of links either using CMS
portlets or SimpleJSP portlets. I'd like to be able to filter links based
on audience/group type. This way we can target users with the content they
need.

sorts of users.

We are thinking about how to tackle this as well. We were thinking of
integrating external click events with Google Analytics. (
