Playing with the alpha tarball I noticed some strange behaviour and I'm not sure if it depends from some wrong parameter configuration or they are errors:
in the My Space page the various portlets don't show the links that enable to shade or hide the elements;
clicking on Control Panel and Customize Layout all the portlet actions (hide, swap and move) doesn't work;
the portlets are rendered with a simple border and changing the portal theme doesn't produce any effect;
