Lotus Connections into WebSphere Portal *DOES* go

A friend asked for some examples of LC -> WP integration, to which I responded with this list: -


there are a myriad of ways to integrate Connections into Portal, including: -

• Catalog-based portlets
  
  2.5 -> https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&documentId=8955E5018F9890FD852576D0000A7A72&Login
  
  3.0 -> https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&documentId=511C128045FCD5D1852577B60055AD81
  
  
• Web Application Integrator ( inject Portal navigation into Connections pages via JavaScript )
  
  https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&documentId=31AC15EF8BF546DF85257700005C50BE
  
  This isn't YET supported for Portal 7, but I do have an internal version that works, and we expect a Catalog-hosted version soon
  
  
• Web Application Bridge portlet - new this month

• iFrame portlet
  
• Web Clipping portlet
  
• Custom web application integration, including CreativeCommons HTTP Client etc.

• Custom portlets, including those built with WebSphere Portlet Factory which has a REST Services builder; Connections is a bunch of RESTful services.
  
  The Catalog also includes a set of source models/builders, as used by the IBM-supplied portlets: -
  
  2.5 -> https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&documentId=F67416E10B88DB2E852577260068E522
  3.0 -> https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&documentId=4A433FC644B2D05D852577E000702F69
  
  
• ATOM/RSS feeds, consuming Connections events as feeds using, perhaps, the Catalog-based Syndicated Feed Reader portlet
  
  https://greenhouse.lotus.com/plugins/plugincatalog.nsf/assetDetails.xsp?action=editDocument&documentId=AAC7B8951F4C69CA8525771C004993D7
  
  
• Person/Business Card - this is standard in WebSphere Portal, but needs some hand-feeding

In addition, another good pal, Brian, also suggested this: - This is a link to the search integration paper I mentioned, it also includes lots of other useful info about Portal integration (the search integration bit is just over half-way down the page): -

Did I miss any ? How about deploying Connections iWidgets in Portal 7 ?

*UPDATE* My Aussie pal, Adam Brown, also mentioned some sterling work that he and his ISW team have been doing here: -
