We use the uPortal framework with JSR-168 portlets at the University of Manchester. So far we have the following services in the portal, as an example: Blackboard Talis library Email Oracle/blackboard calendar news/announcements various applications which live in the portal layer like bookmarks exam timetabling and other student services administrative services etc. We are currently getting about 45k log ins/day and just recently finished our upgrade to uPortal version 3 with AJAX drag and drop customisation, skinning etc jazzy features, and more detailed targeting. Please feel free to get in touch if you think we could be of any help with your project.
