  What is it?
  -----------

  Jetspeed is an Enterprise Information Portal framework aiming to provide :

  * an efficient multi-device user customizable portal interface
  
  * a portal independant "portlet" API used for developing customizable
    components that can be integrated into any compatible portal

  * a lightweight syndication system that can be used as a simple distributed
    HTTP content management system
    
  Jetspeed will not provide a full content management system but will 
  provide bridges to external CMS systems like Apache Slide or Infozone Prowler
