Revision as of 13:44, 12 January 2006
As someone who is shopping for, and consequently bewildered by, web portal software on the less than corporate enterprise level, I find this article inadequate in that it does not address this wide array of software that is out there, nor is there a link or disambiguation to these other forms (soopportal.org, web wiz forums, maxwebportal extreme, etc) of web portal. I would glady do an article myself, but clearly I'm not ready. I, and I suspect others, need someone more knowledgeable to at least start the ball rolling here. Please? Thanx. :-)Natcolley 18:54, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
not neutral: Java centric.
This is a well writen article but it is Java centric. What a web portal is should not be defined by the implementation of a portal in Java. I love Java but mentions of it should be in a links section or an example section. Peter 13:13, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- I find no point-of-view asserted here. Please see Misplaced Pages:NPOV regarding the use of the {{NPOV}} tag. If it being Java centric is concerned, then I invite you to expand the article to cover portals made in other languages. Thanks! -- Perfecto

- If the no point-of-view policy is about unbiased articles, then your correction is not good. The article is biased towards only one technology, implying that a web portal can only be made from Java technologies. The article should be language neutral in defining what a portal is. I will take you up on your invitation and see if I can write something acceptable. I know it is not an easy thing. I will see about it over the weekend.-- Peter 13:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Official statement from a student of Jakob Nielsen
- A 'portal' refers to a location on the World Wide Web while a 'Wikiportal' should refer to 'Wikiportals' here on Misplaced Pages. The 'portal' use confuses users. Let us clarify this as soon as possible. I suggest 'portal' designers begin their conversion to 'wikiportal' immediately. I should know. Like Al Gore, I built the Internet. Ha! Anyway, I have started the switch to Wikiportals with the new Central Intelligence Agency Wikiportal which you can find here Sincerely, CelebritySecurity 22:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Vortal?
Vortal redirects here. What is a vortal? The word doesn't occur here even though it redirects here. RJFJR 17:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Vortal was, for a short time in the 90s, used to describe a "vertical portal". I don't know if any of those still exists, but the idea was to gather links to businesses in a certain field and maybe let them share information with each other. --Busifer 13:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
