Re:Why so little publicity? (Score 1)

It looks to me like Google is creating isolated portlets and portlet APIs (search, mail, calendar, etc.) leaving the portal integration and UI issues for the greater developer community to resolve. Google appears to be currently helping out Mozilla with Firefox and client side infrastructure. I would be interested to see Google do likewise on the server side and invest some money and resources into a standard open source portal solution like the Apache Portals Project; Pluto, JetSpeed-2, and WSRP-J.
