Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: dotProject - another Open Source project to borrow ideas from

I decided to use Plone for my company's Web site, because it did everything I need, *plus* it was amazingly simple to install and configure.  If I spent more than 4-5 hours on my company's site, including moving over the old content, I'd be amazed.  (I'm not including my old Linux Journal columns in that number, because of the complexity of the format in which they were originally stored.)

But now we need a groupware system that handles calendars, bug tracking, invoices, and the like -- and obviously, Plone doesn't meet our needs.  So we've stumbled across Tutos, and I've been rather impressed with what I've seen.  It doesn't have the elegance of OpenACS or Plone, but it works well enough, and it's under active development.

I don't believe that OpenACS will ever have Plone's ease of use.  But I can easily see it becoming a strong competitor to Tutos, and then some.
