You are funny. How should I check it out ?

No seriously, I will only look at it in more detail if there is a chance that we can add it to the OpenACS repository so users could easily upgrade OpenACS from the repository. Which involves looking at the code, which you may or may not provide under the GPL, but I doubt it at the moment as you want to make money of this service. Furthermore, what is important to us in that regard is the ability to upgrade based on DIFFS between the last upgrade and now. I don't see this with your system (you are release dependend).

So yes, your work is a valuable addition to Project/Open and will make live easier for the normal user. If it can be valuable for OpenACS depends on the release of the code and commitment by one or more users to adapt the code with the OpenACS repository.
