Hello Everyone!

As mentioned previously by Mark Curphey (this list's moderator, OWASP
Founder), myself, Ben Poweski, and Ingo Struck have been developing a
Portal Framework with security as a theme. We have been working since
Q4 of last year to present. And I want everybody to understand that
this is a best-effort from mere mortals ;)

Here is the URL:

http://beta.owasp.org

Please understand that there *are* bugs and most likely a bunch of
things that we have missed, or have not gotten to work on as of yet.

Here is what is currently working:

Caching Framework
XSL Document Transformation Framework
Docbook Presentation Framework (Currently supports PDF and HTML)
RDF/RSS News Feeds (incoming and outgoing)
Full Text Searching
Content Management

Here is what will be ready in the full release (And current Status):

Forums (50% complete)
Document Workflow Management (50% Complete)
User Management (50% Complete)
Session Management with Proper Preventative Measures (20% Complete)
Complete Filtering Toolkit (20% Complete)

Day by day we are completing the above features. However they are
extremely complex to implement correctly.

I am extremely proud of our effort and I look forward to improving the
maturity of oPortal everyday. Keeping in mind that we will have a full
release within 12 months of inception, I feel that we have accomplished
an daunting task!

We hope to grow oPortal into the #1 Open Source standards based Portal
Framework.
