Thank you, Ralph, for setting the record straight! Can you, or anyone
else, update us on the Cocoon portal? The web site says that it is in
the 'alpha' state
(http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/portal/index.html).

Actually, Carsten Ziegeler, who is also a committer here, wrote most of
it. The Cocoon portal is interesting because it works very well as the
site navigation framework for a web site, whether or not you actually
use it as a portal. It supports using Cocoon pipelines and external web
applications as portlets, as well as JSR-168 portlets.
The portal is no longer in alpha state. The cocoon doc is just kind of
slow to be updated (there is a project underfoot to fix that). My
employer is using the portal to deploy web sites for our customers, and
everyone involved with it seems to love it. However, despite the fact
that it is working fine, we know it needs improvement. We would like to
find better ways to deploy JSR-168 portlets - I'm not really happy with
deploying them as web apps the way the spec says to.
