I am not advocating that we launch into Cocoon for the PD portal, however (though that -could- be a good idea), since I suspect that Zope-like solutions might be easier to develop maintain...
Most Java solutions for the web are overbloated. If Forest is good for a specific task like documentation, and if it's manageable, it's worth the try, as long as it's simple enough. For the portal, I don't know if Python is simpler than PHP, but the available portal kit seems better in Python than in PHP.
