[server-admins] Firebird Server pegging

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Yeah, I didn't use portlets to build our tools.  We instead build 
OpenSocial gadgets.  But, there are 100s of existing portlets which are 
distributed with Liferay alone which are useful, and if we want to build 
a community where developers can add new components to an existing suite 
of components, what do you choose?  Liferay is alone a great community 
portal implementation, the fact that they implement everything using a 
standardized architecture is a bonus to that. The fact that they added 
OpenSocial gadget support is the reason I chose to use Liferay-- a 
mature portal with 100s of existing components and the ability to write 
in a programming language agnostic, distributed component architecture 
(OpenSocial).
