[Yanel-usage] before I begin

[Darko Hojnik]

Hello Michael,

The first reason against Liferay is that Liferay is not 100% compatible  
with Webkitbrowsers such like Apple Safari or Google Chrome. For my  
project I will search in a later stadium some investors. If the webside  
doesn't work on there Macbook, I got a problem. The second reason are some  
issues with multilanguage content. And the integrated Wiki inside Liferay  
6 is (sorry) just crap

You have right, I mean a deploy like a portled inside a Portal such like  
Apache Jetspeed2. Using a single sign on solution, display content to the  
enduser.
Jetspeed 2, uPortal and GateIn are Portals and alternatives to Liferay.

Is there documentation available to use yanel with an JNDI Datasource?

kind regards Darko
