Well, Plone is turning out to be very easy to use. I am keeping notes as I go along, and I'll post them here when they are at a reasonably complete stage. In the space of a couple of days I have managed to get far more customisation done that with any of the J2EE portals I have tried so far. There is even a blog add-in available that installs as smoothly as eels through seagrass. I think I will have to create a blogroll portlet from scratch, but having had a go at a bit of customisation, I am not daunted. The documentation available is also very useful. A lot of the tweaks I have made so far have been done following the instructions on the Plone site.
Obviously, Plone being built using Python and not Java, it is not JSR168-compliant, but I think for demonstration purposes, it will do just fine. It's a relief to get to this stage - I can now concentrate on the customisation rather than the evaluation.
