Description

"Group" is renamed to "community"!

A community has a collection of pages

A page will have a number of portlets

A community should have one or more pages

Public communites allow self registration

private communities are controlled by an admin

Communities are exposed to users via a "My Places" portlet on the user page

Everything in liferay is tied to a community

Communities are managed via the Communities Portlet. This portlet can be used to create, update, and delete communities; control the permissions of communities (including permission delegation); manage the pages of communities; assign users to communities (either directly or indirectly); and join or leave open communities.

Essentially pages and their children, and not folders though

I am on page 31 of the userguide so far

A page can have child pages

It is not clear if a child has further children.

The child pages are listed inside that tab.

It is not clear if the display of these pages and children is configurable?

public page is for guests and private only if you are logged in and belong to that community
