However it is still obvious that the portal has low visibility when it comes to anyone creating a list of Open Source java portals. In order to perhaps correct this and gain a better impression of who is using the portal framework - what for and maybe also why not, I have put together a short poll. It would be great if you could take a few minutes to answer the questions (even if you are not actually using a portal) and send me your answers. I will collect the results and then publish an overview on the Cocoon wiki. Hopefully we will then also have a better understanding of what features - for example - may be missing.

So please keep the Cocoon Portal as simple as possible.

Re: [Poll] Portal deployment / Cocoon portal usage
snip 1. Are you currently using the Cocoon Portal Framework (Engine)? A) Yes we are using it for ... a prototype website of us, which is currently under development. We wanted to get gather some experience with cocoon first. When it is succesful we plan to use it for further projects. The following questions only if you are using a portal 2. Why did you choose the specific portal solution you are using? A) Given IT strategy B) Cost C) Technology The following questions only if you are using the Cocoon Portal framework 3. Why did you choose the Cocoon portal framework? B) A strategic decision was made to use Open Source C) Because of the features of the framework 4. What do you think is currently missing from the Portal framework (Engine)? A) Tools (which?) or tool support I miss any tools for the portal engine. Something like a coplet Configurator (skin, layout), something like a layout Tool (to manage the tabs and links, and the coplets on each tab ...), something like tool support for an existing CMS. D) Better Documentation I would like a better Documentation (for the cocoon Portal). But after that I have just started with cocoon a few months ago, I will also try to help on completing the Documentation (in cocoon Wiki?), as far as I have understood it. 5. How do you get support for the framework (Engine) A) Through the mailing lists Great. B) Reading the documentation and other publications 6. Details/Comments (Optional) Before using the cocoon Portal I worked with Jetspeed 1.x an liked it. Now that I've seen cocoon and it's Features I changed my mind. You have done a great Job with cocoon. Thanks. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
