Correct - but a portal normally is a frontend to various other
systems. There could be technical reasons _for_ Vignette because of its
capabilities in integrating these 'backend'-systems.

It would be interesting to find out, whether V5 or V6 are going to be used. V5
is basically a tcl interpreter with a few templates and daemons for caching and
delivery - _everything_ else needs to be adapted or developed.

The business model behind V5 is: selling an alpha-product with an impressive
price tag to a customer and then selling consulting, integration and training
with an equally considerable price tag afterwards.

V6 seems to be Java based, bringing it nearer to the
J2EE-Applicationserver-Enterprise-Hype-Hot-Spot. Never worked with it - only
read a few magazine articles.
