wiki2451: GatewayPortal
Initially the team prepared separate Community Gateways and Portals surveys. While reviewing the results of these surveys we concluded that there was no clear distinction between the terms Community Gateways and Portals as used by the various infrastructures, so we decided to create a single converged survey for both.

The results of the initial separate surveys are in this spreadsheet.

The single converged survey follows. Each participating infrastructure should complete their appropriate columns by merging and updating their answers from the initial separate surveys.
