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.
Is there any LAMP implementation of a Portal? I am convinced that standardized reusable portlets will eventually replace desktop applications. I might support a LAMP platform if there was a freely available solution that included a Portal component that supported WSRP (Web Services for Remote Portlets) and something similar to JSR 168, the Java portlet standard.
The Democrats will never succeed by employing a platform of hatred vocalized by agents such as Michael Moore and Paul Begala. It did not work against Regean and it won't work now. The Republicans learned some valuable lessons when their attacks on Clinton backfired. However, the Democrats appear to be too arrogant to evolve.
Europeans were wringing their hands in the early 80's that Regean would initiate the destruction of the planet. All of the vitriol from that period was forgotten when Eastern Europe was liberated and the cold war was won. Now Europe is again nervous that America is embarking on another epic battle to bring democracy and freedom to the Middle East. I suspect that when those tyrannical governments start to fall and their citizens taste freedom, Europeans will soon forget how much hatred they held for Bush.
No worries tho'. As nature abhors a vacuum, Democrats and Europeans will eventually find something new to hate about Americans that do not share their current perspective on the world.
I suspect that this latest attempt at a web-based desktop platform will be based on portlet and client provisioning standards so that everyone can play...
