Scent of Information [www.uie.com]
This is an excellent article that talks about the difference between a portal and a home page. Solution Grove often creates sites with both a home page for unregistered users, and an intranet like portal for more involved users that belong to one or more classes or communities. Understanding the difference is crucial to good information architecture design.
I also like the "Scent of Information" model presented in this article.

The installer is for people who wish to try / test OpenACS and dotLRN systems in a fast way under the windows platform. (As well as tool for demonstrators in the e-lane project)
The source code will be available for any interested user, as well as further updated versions of the installer will continue, plus more improvements.
