Yeah UP-2622 is odd.  It's marked closed/fixed, but clearly it hasn't been implemented.  Do you suppose Eric meant to close it "Will not fix?"  I could see that, given how anti-templateUser Eric & Jen often were... but then again Eric is the one who reported it.  Another thing that's odd is that clicking on the "All" tab under Activity generates a JIRA error.

FWIW I'm okay with leaning on templateUsers -- in a discrete, behind-the-scenes way -- to get a job done.  Do you support reopening it?  We could update the ticket to include similar portlets in Respondr -- skin, logo, search, personalization-gallery, etc.
