Hi Eric,

Read this:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/portal/index.html
and
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/webapps/index.html

You will have to spend quite a bit of time for going through these docs, 
but they tell everything about the portal engine.

coplet configuration is saved in:
{your portal block directory}/profiles

User info is stored in:
{your portal block directory}/resources

Use of files is customizable and you can add any database (RDBMS, XMLDB 
of LDAP) if you need to.

It either reads the newsfeed that are local form the offline direcotiry 
or goes to the specified web site to get the RSS.

There is an LDAP transformer - just read the docs

Hope that helps.

Sincerely,

Nick.
