Our GVC.SiteMaker can so much of what they are asking for, at least in
some form. The Data Tables function allows you to do a lot with a
little ingenuity.

Free, OpenSource, Java, and WebObjects. We offer paid support
contracts. Used by the University of Michigan and the University of
Chicago among others.
A new version is in the works, due out later this year.

We are in contact with a client who wants a web portal for their
institution.
They have a variety of types of data (nothing too demanding) and job
functions, and want a single portal to allow staff members to access
different types of data, for different functions.
They also want to support collaboration (e.g. forums), calendar
sharing and management of and access to documents for various teams
within the institution.
OK, ok, so all that sounds like consultant-speak.
Bottom line is, I came into this 4 hours ago, and was told to whip
up a technology demo by next wednesday so that I can give a
recommendation for what technology to use, based on their response
to the demonstration.
It has to support clients (the institution is almost entirely mac
based, and uses intel based Tiger servers).
Some have been reticent to encourage open source tools, but I think
it is because they are afraid of having to download source-code and
compile things. I think if they had an open source tool that
provided the functionality and ease of use, and was well supported,
that would be fine. So basically, I need to come up with options,
at least 1 open source, and 1 commercial off the shelf portal.
I also though of building something using WebObjects, and perhaps
building off other solutions so I thought I'd ask here what people's
opinions were.
Does anyone have insight or suggestions? Should I just try and use
something like JBoss Portal or does anyone have of any other better
ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
