As discussed in this thread, it would be awesome if the Portal code was in CVS so that people could contribute patches.

cc'ing Gunnar, as he asked about this too.

I have another reason for this to be in CVS (and licensed under EPL).

I would like to use some of the ideas, if not some of the code itself, for a membership database and portal for my church. 

Seems like this is precisely how you would like Eclipse code to be used - for the benefit of other non-profits.

This is a Mike decision, so assigning this bug to him.

I still think this would be a real boon to the community.

Some progress has been made towards resolving this bug.  Take a look at the Eclipse project proposal for the Portal.

We're looking at ways to move away from the home-grown Portal and onto something more generic, so investing effort into making this OSS is pointless.
