My name is Scott C. and I am a plugin developer at Spiceworks. Previously, the user portal has been pretty well locked down.
However, in the latest available version of 4.7 from www.spiceworks.com allows you to create user portal widgets as plugins. We have a fully documented API, a bustling community of other Spiceworks users extending it and creating plugins of their own, and a full support staff and myself to answer any technical or programming questions.
If you head over to http://community.spiceworks.com, you can go to the Extending Spiceworks group and have a lot of your questions answered there. I'm in there often as ScottC and usually give fully-detailed answers, explanations, and code samples to get you moving.
If you know Javascript/HTML/CSS you'll be able to do a lot with customizing Spiceworks. We have some surprises for the user portal in 5.0 regarding plugins so stay tuned!
