uPortal, according to its website, "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. It is a collaborative development project with the effort shared among several of the the Java Architectures Special Interest Group (JA-SIG) member institutions. uPortal may be downloaded and use on your site at no cost.
