EXO is in dire need of a facelift. The architecture is nice, but the presentation is awful. Talk about an "80's" design.
hello,
first I'de like to thank the author for this great list of open source portal software.
About eXo. It's a great project and has a lot of potential. What needs to be done at the eXo team is DOCUMENTATION! They even lack a no nonsens installation guide. The docs are cluttered around on the sf.net page, the community portal, in cvs and the archieves. I tried setting up eXo this morning and it was not easy at all. Still not working correctly. Maybe I should go check out cvs and pull the full source.
If you just need/want to learn/try out portlet development, then eXo is not for you. If you are a hardcore j2ee developer, then it's yours.
At the moment I'll stick with liferay to learn the basics about portlet development. And liferay seems to be a very active project where IMHO eXo has a bit stalled lately.
And, of course, a fresh layout would be nice, too.
cheers Michael
