Comments

• The GUI (css) of the researcher portfolio presentation should be escidoc specific, but well distinguishable from PubMan.
• The presentation of the researcher portfolio will be in English, an extra page in CONE service will be needed to provide a translation of the researcher portfolio in e.g. japanese letters.
• NIMS wants it to be visible on the researcher profile who last modified it and when.
