I will try to post related information on this blog.Free Portlet Repository- November 27, 2004 Seeing the dearth of free JSR 168 portlets, I have created a folder on the file section of portlets forum where one can upload portlets. There are already 15 portlets available in the repository contributed by different members. I request everyone to contribute portlets that can be the part of learning material and instant reuse.

I am in touch with the industry and watching it closely for a long time but the results are somewhat surprising to me. I was not expecting that the open source portal servers would do that well. For me it is always difficult to interpret the data. But I'll try to do it with my limited understanding and almost no knowledge of statistics.
