What popular open-source portal system is used by MIT, NASA, the World Health Organization and the Chicago Medical Society? The answer to that query would be the Metadot Portal Server. The best thing about this particular system is that non-technical people can create rather powerful websites and portals through a number of clicks with the mouse. Some of the elements that users can add to these website or portals include calendars, polls, a FAQ section, discussion forums, and a number of other helpful features. Finally, the website for Metadot Portal Server contains a number of useful suggestions for new users. The Portal Server is compatible with all operating systems. [KMG]
