Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to How long can the OpenACS community get away with being an island?

Yes, and to add to that....

Being too tech focussed is not a good idea... If we leave it to the technical people to get the product to a state where their entirely happy then we'll be waiting forever! Developers are largely perfectionists by nature.

The commercial env, does not demand perfection, it demands good marketing, good support, good potential and good ROI... I *know* the OpenACS is already able to meet those demands, therefore it is definately time to begin banging the drum a bit more..

Also, if we're not shouting loudly, that in itself becomes an indictment of the software. i.e. if they're not selling it up it can't be that good..

Have some faith folks, this really is an excellent toolkit (warts and all) and we shouldn;t be frightened of saying so, albeit in a balanced manner.
