Abstract: An administrator can use a portal platform to manage social equity for social collaboration features of the web sites. A goal is to encourage users to contribute to an online community's social activities such as its blogs, message boards, and wiki pages. The portal platform supports social equity features, where users can earn points for their participation. The administrator can specify a counter period, where the points accumulated during the last period are reset. This feature can be used to encourage continual participation by the users.

Abstract: A portal system uses sandboxing to increase reliability of the portals. The portal can be centrally managed to maintain reliability of portals by sandboxing individual portlets. This can help portal administrators reduce the impact any single portlet may have on the resiliency of the overall portal, while maintaining core portal functionality. For example, if a portlet or group of portlets becomes unstable, these portlets will not impact the overall availability of the portal.
