I'm currently evaluating various JSR 168 implementations and I've got JBoss 
Portal installed and running here.  I also have other implementations installed 
and evaluated (JetSpeed, Liferay) but I'm having trouble determing the feature 
set that JBoss Portal offers.  In looking at just the initial pages you see 
between the three implementation, it just seems like JBoss Portal is lacking in 
a number of areas.  I'm wondering if perhaps I am missing some areas in my 
installation.

- For example, when I log in, I see a set of portlets, but I don't see a 
mechanism to create pages or add portlets to a page.  I did find the sections 
in the Reference Guide regarding create pages via the xml.  Does that mean that 
is the only mechanism available?  
- Can users not create or customize pages?  
- I saw posts regarding the implementation of a thames API in the next release. 
 So does the current release not support any branding/customization of the GUI? 
 What customizations do the users or admins have in JBoss Portal?  
- I also do not see any way to associate portlets with users via the admin 
console.  Is such security not available? Or can security against portlets only 
be applied via the xml descriptors?

Rather than go through the full list of features that I'm concerned about and 
ask them individually, I'll leave it as a more set of general question.  Does 
JBoss Portal support similar features to the other implementations mentioned 
above (Liferay, JetSpeed)?  Will the next JBoss Portal release support similar 
features?  Is there a comparison document anywhere that details the features 
supported (or to be supported soon) by JBoss Portal?

Thanks!
