I spent this week doing a proof of concept time-boxed to one week for a client that wants a new corporate intranet. The first step was to choose a technology stack. I have experience with some heavy weight commercial Content Management and Portal products that play in this space but all of these are expensive and probably an overkill for a intranet. The majority of the client’s requirements are to do with basic web content management so I went on the prowl for Java open source solutions to the problem. I spent around three to four hours installing and playing around with some open source products that have enterprise level support available through backing companies.

Joomla! - the dynamic portal engine and content management system. Try this award winning CMS out. It is truly outstanding!

uPortal uPortal 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 using Java, XML, JSP and J2EE. It is a collaborative development project with the effort shared among several of the JA-SIG member institutions. You may download uPortal and use it on your site at no cost.
