Layout Tool

  The tool is intended to make building portal pages easier for site
  admin. The content provided by different sources it is possible to
  lay on the page in different ways. 

  Column Layout

    Columns layout is usual to see on portals. Left and right columns
    with helper information are surrounding content. Portals can have
    more columns (especially entry pages). Content inside column can 
    be put in blocks following each other.

  Grid Layouts

    Sometimes the grid layout is proper solution for vertical 
    positioning related information into logical rows. This layout 
    could be suitable if content is composed with geometrically 
    different-sized blocks (in the case block should occupy several
    cells of the grid).

  Floating layouts

    Related information can be injected into content into floating 
    blocks of related information.

  Multipage layout

    CMFPortlets are employing multipage layouts. These layouts are
    heavily used by My.Yahoo and My.Netscape portals.

  The PageTemplate could just make use of precreated and preconfigured
  layouts stored into Layout Tool. Generation of layout could be 
  flexible, scriptable and automated. Security machinery could play 
  here role as well.

  Layout Tool should use PortletTool at the most. My vision of 
  PortletTool is as ContentTool, providing different flavous of 
  content.
