I'm going to go through the documentation for 2.6 again now that I know a bit more - didn't crasp everything first time around obviously. As for portletswap.com and googling, those options have been used.

  |  - Picture gallery, i've seen a portlet to display pictures from flicker, i can't find the link right now
  |  - Adress book/contact list, we have (had?) something very basic, probably not something very useful
  |  - Forum: yes, it looks like this forum, it's a portlet though: http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossforums/
  |  - CMS portlet, that's what we have. It comes with the portal
  |  - Web mail, i don't have anything (it doesn't mean it doesn't exist)
  |  - User management, yes, embedded.

news/blog: I currently don't have time get actively involved in a/another open source project, but I'd would definitely like to have a look at what they got. Where can I find it? Is it the jboss_newsportlet available at portletswap or a different one?

address book: there are two address book / contacts portlets at portlet swap, but neither one of them have had any updates for almost twelve (12) months so I'll continue to look around.

forum: JBoss Forums is a nice phpBB clone. Does it have anything in common with JForum (which also is a Javabased phpBB clone)? It's feature list looks quite complete. Since I know phpBB it would be interesting to know if you know about any major differences between the two. I am especially interested in 1) PM (private messages) (not mentioned in the feature list, but there is an icon in the forum which, however, links to jboss.com) and 2) "Fine grained security" and whether it means that non-privileged users won't even be able to see topics and "Last Post" information. Looks as the same requirements that a user mentioned is this thread:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=98930

CMS Portlet: I felt that the CMS portlet was not intuitive enough to just start with and I also managed to cause it throw an exception :)
My goal is to migrate an existing JSP site to a CMS solution.

User Management: though there was support for hierarchical role/group management, but I got to know that J2EE does not specify hierarchical support and it was not a hard requirement anyway.
