We're about to embark on creating a site with one main landing page

external sites. We'd like to have this "dashboard" be personalised
based on group membership such that members of group A see a slightly
different set of "tiles" than group B even though it's still the same
landing page.
At the moment I'm going to go with using
collective.collage.portlets

Just wondering if anyone can anything to my evaluation, or any gotchas
I haven't thought of?
Does this support per-group portlets, or do you need a collage page per
group?
I've also looked at
Inbuilt Plone personal Dashboard
--------------------------------------------
- doesn't support group level portlets
+ layout is ok
If you install collective.groupdashboard (being merged into Plone 4) you
can assign per-group portlets to the dashboard (including the
AuthenticatedUsers pseudo-group).
collective.portletpage
----------------------------
- just 4 slots in main content - not grid like enough.

+ UI is easy
It's not hard to add new portlet managers (slots) if you need it. Just
use portlets.xml + a custom template that shows the new manager.
Products.ContentWellPortlets
---------------------------------------
- Not flexible layout. Not grid like
For both this and collective.portletpage you can customise a template to
get a different layout.
