Summary

The goal of the new framework was to meet the needs of TGUP and in addition unify the TeraGrid web presence (TGWP) by solidifying the TGUP, TeraGrid web site, and TeraGrid WIKI into a single framework environment. In detail, the features desired for the new web portal platform serving the TGUP and TGWP included a stable portal framework supporting JSR-168 [4] compliant Java portlets [5], a flexible content management system, support for content workflows which enable non-technical staff to author, approve, manage, and share web content, documents, and files across the TGUP and TGWP. Also, the framework was needed to serve multiple domain names from within the same installation, be in active development, be supported by both the company and the community of users, be open source, and have a rich set of vendor and community provided plugins for functionality and offer Web 2.0 look and feel.

The migration to LR has been worth the challenges that had to be overcome. Liferay has enabled the addition of many features to the TGUP and TGWP. In addition to the increased stability that the projects enjoy, features that are bundled with the framework have been exposed to the TG users such as the addition of message board forums, comments to pages, and simple content management. Future work for the TGUP and TGWP is expanding capabilities for additional user communities to create their own areas and introducing specialized interfaces for PIs, area administrators (such as Gateways, EOT), and domain views. This paper describes the motivation, challenges and results of migrating the TeraGrid web presence from being separate entities to a single framework under Liferay.
