Doesn't University of Hawaii already have a uPortal (actually Luminus) 
installation.  At least according the site I maintain for uPortal 
(www.uportal.org) I've got them listed as an institution which has 
implemented uPortal. uPortal provides all of the features listed above.  
I know that your university is also doing work with Sakai and the Kuali 
projects.  I'm a developer for one of the Kuali components and two of my 
collegues have been involved with Kuali since it's inception and I know 
that one of the earliest developers retreats was held at UH.
