Eww. OK. I'd actually like to use it especially because its an apache
project and it looks like it has a lot of potential. However, I'm short on
time and speed is of the essence. So maybe jetspeed should be a website
2.0 thing and we should try something else... a custom portal based on
enhydra perhaps. Any suggestions for the quickest servlet based portal
solution?
I'm mostly interested in a system that allows us to quickly and easily put
up an ordered set of documentation with the concept of multiple "authors"
and "editors". This is similar to midgard but in java.
