uPortal is a free, sharable portal under development by institutions of higher-education. This group sees an institutional portal as an abridged and customized version of the institutional Web presence... a "pocket-sized" version of the campus Web.
Portal technology adds "customization" and "community" to the campus Web presence. Customization allows each user to define a unique and personal view of the campus Web. Community tools, such as chat, forums, survey, and so on, build relationships among campus constituencies.
uPortal is an open-standard effort using Java, XML, JSP and J2EE. JA-SIG uPortal is a collaborative development project with the effort shared among several of the JA-SIG member institutions. You may download uPortal and use it on your site at no cost.

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*

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.
