Hi Vic, I read your proposal. As you say, I think it would be great to provide Struts-based verticals under a portal platform. In your proposal you have mentioned that one of BasicPortal's goals is to provide a UI that is similar to my.netscape.com. I think that Liferay has accomplished this and it also has pretty extensive personalization and administration features. Please surf through the demo at my.liferay.com Log in as the administrator so you can check out the administration features as well: Login: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pass: test
Since now I am somewhat involved in both Liferay and BasicPortal (although I have not yet contributed a single line of code to either of them) I can clearly see that there is a common goal in both of these projects: providing an open-source "Struts-based" portal server. Both projects have their strengths. While BasicPortal has a good lightweight persistence framework, Liferay has an extensive UI for personalization and administration. I suggest that the best of both projects can be combined under a brand new Jakarta subproject that would aim to provide a Struts-based alternative to JetSpeed.
