Well, I decided this week, while I was "in the field" that I would give GMail a try. I've had an account for a long time now, but I'm used to having everything local on a machine where I store gigs and gigs of mail from at least the past 8-9 years. I'm a email pack-rat I guess.. but it has saved my butt more than once. But, it's hard to carry around a desktop just...

A common story we hear from the community and our customers is that Liferay has a lot of powerful features.  However, it is difficult for those who want to just create a community and start collaborating.  They have to first create layouts, then add portlets, and then update portlets.   ...
