Just to reassure, the idea is to create one or two portlet types initially as a working
guide on how to do so; I'd expect more to be created as dashboard requirements become
clearer.

I assume the lack of feedback thus far means that our plan is
flawless.
I still find the list of display types to be fairly arbitrary. It
seems
to me like "Admin" is just a different filter/sort on "List," and
that
"Customized" is too broad -- maybe "Line Graph" could be a type?
(Plus,
"Administrator" isn't necessarily a boolean thing -- what if I want a
list of deployments in a pool I don't own, but some of the
deployments
are mine?)
I'm not sure we need to enumerate all possible types right now -- an
important goal, after all, is that it's easy to build on this -- but
I
just want to make sure we don't end up with "Customized" being the
most-used type of portlet.
