Collaborative Portal Server (CPS) is the most complete Open Source platform available for building Enterprise Content Management (ECM) applications.
Collaborative Portal Server comes also as a user-friendly application ready to for entreprise-grade content management with many collaboration features. CPS is built on top of the powerful Zope application server.
This web portal aims at unifying and providing a common platform to the CPS community. You will find here news about CPS and its components, documentation, links, users and developers mailing-lists and information about the future of the platform.
CPS development is backed by Nuxeo and a community of contributors (Chalmers University, Infrae, etc.) and is released under the GPL.
Enhancements:
- This release contains mostly bugfixes and minor improvements.
- A couple of new packages, useful for application developers, have been also integrated: CPSDashboard (a tool to build flexible and easily configurable search results views) and CPSBayes (a tool to perform naive Bayesian inference).

Enhancements:
- This is a 100% Free software version of Webconverger without Adobe Flash is now available for download. Webconvergers main version (trunk) will still include Flash.

Simple Flash Menu allows fast constructing nested menus for html pages (like on left side of this page), simply by editing xml file. No, dont afraid, xml knowledge isnt required, look on example and make similar.
This done with macromedia flash, you must place on server flash script which will analyze xml file and draw menus depending on its contest (about 10KB) and xml file or multiple xml files describing your menus. Nothing more must be done.
Now available two versions: one - very small without any decorations, and a bit larger with simple menu decorations. You can choose depending on your needs.
Requirements: any browser with Macromedia Flash Player 5 or Macromdia Flash Player 6 (MX) plugin. Wouldnt work with Flash Player 4 and earliers.
Tested in Internet Explorer 6.0, 6.0 SP1; Mozilla 0.9.8 - 1.2b (aka Netscape 6-7); Netscape 4.78; Opera 6.0 - 6.0.4, 7.0b1 in Linux and Windows enviroments.
Options:
- menu_file xml file load menu from
- html_width horizontal space on html page conducted for menu
- html_height vertical space on html page conducted for menu
- window open all links in specified window
- jscript instead of opening window call specified javascript function with parameters: href,jattr,state. Only one window or jscript can be selected
- jattr optional javascript function argument
- state specifies current menu state (i.e. which submenus open and which closed)
- font_size labels font size for all menu items (default: 36)
- left_margin menu left margin (default: 5)
- up_margin menu upper margin (default: 5)
- submenu_indention indention of all submenu items in pixels (default: 20)
- menuitems_overlap specifies distance between menu items, positive numbers defines overlapping menu items (default: 0.2)
- decor enable decorations (only 1.1.x)
- decor_width decoration width
- decor_spacing white space between decoration and menu label
- send_state Boolean, specifies if state parameter (information which submenus open, which closed) by default must be sent to all pages, opened from menu, or not (default is to send).
- fg Specifies foreground color for inactive item (fg="#0000FF")
- afg Specifies foreground color for active item (afg="#FF0000")
- bg Specifies background color for inactive item (bg="255,128,0,100" - here 255 - red component, 128 - green component, 0 - blue component, 100 - alpha; "255,255,255,100" is visble white, "0,0,0,0" - invisible black)

Apache Portals is a collaborative software development project dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available Portal related software on a wide variety of platforms and programming languages.

This project is managed in cooperation with various individuals worldwide (both independent and company-affiliated experts), who use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop Portal software and related documentation.

Modern software is complex and expensive, which has motivated many companies to invest in enterprise portals as a mechanism by which they can manage information in a cohesive and structured fashion.

Portals offer many advantages over other software applications. First, they provide a single point of entry for employees, partners, and customers. Second, portals can access Web services transparently from any device in virtually any location. Third, portals are highly flexible; they can exist in the form of B2E intra-nets, B2B extra-nets, or B2C inter-nets. Fourth, portals can be combined to form a portal network that can span a companys entire enterprise system, allowing for access both inside and outside the firewall.

Portals have many advantages, which is why they have become the de facto standard for Web application delivery. In fact, analysts have predicted that portals will become the next generation for the desktop environment.

Portals distinguish themselves from other software systems because they provide the ability to integrate disparate systems and leverage the functionality provided by those systems. As such, they are not mutually exclusive, and do not force you into an either-or decision vis-a-vis existing software systems. This point is of paramount importance, particularly when you consider the fact that Web services are destined to fuel the explosion of Web applications. Since portals can access any Web services, the conclusion is inescapable: portals provide a unique opportunity to leverage the functionality of nascent technologies as well as mature, well-established software systems.

- Many packages were upgraded.
- The package manager was improved a bit.

Root-Portal is a GNOME program that monitors files, processes etc and displays changes either directly to the desktop or in a transparent border-less window. This is useful for monitoring system logs and for providing feedback on system activities.

Root Portal is a way to do stuff on your desktop in the background. We find it useful as a monitor of system log files such as /var/log/messages and /var/log/xferlog and /var/log/httpd/access_log etc etc.

You can have as many spots, or portals of text on the screen as you want in varying size and varying font and colour and practically any other property you care to think of. They can have the added advantage of being transcient so that you can still see your background picture underneith the text.

As well as this, using the roottext module, you can run programs such as xsnow and the snow flakes will not disappear because of the text, they will pass through it. Using the module such as gnometext allows you to shade the background and put alternate images as backgrounds for your portals.

You may also shade these custom backgrounds, the only disadvantage to this system is that programs such as xsnow cannot mix their graphics with this and disappear behind them. The only other difference between the two is that the root text can handle non-fixed sized fonts with a breeze.

Because the gnome module is using zvt, it currently does no like non-fixed sized fonts too much at all. We are hoping the author of zvt will change this in later releases of his library. As well as the file tailing facility to monitor log files, there is also a loading monitor, to show you when a new process has been created and when a process has been destroyed.
Basically this is a pretty anti-paranoia program for people who sit at their desktops and wonder who is doing what to them from the outside, what is running what on their system, and why their harddisk is suddenly ticking over for no reason *aha, crond is doing something weird*
