Frank, our company is currently using the old ACS 3.4 Intranet module.

The dotWRK project is creating an OpenACS based Intranet, and I'm going to be porting our data from the old Intranet to dotWRK. I'd recommend this route, as it has a better future, and the upgrade effort involved is pretty substantial. Are you already using ACS? If not, I'd definitely go with OpenACS instead.

If you are already on ACS, and decide to upgrade, I'd be happy to share my scripts for upgrading from the old Intranet to the new one. They won't be perfect, however, and will require testing. 😊

Our company would be much more interested in software to link together our current accounting system with our Intranet than writing a Quicken like application. I may work on this at some point in the future.

Dear Jade,

we have decided to go ahead and start customizing starting with the old ACS 3.4 Intranet. The main reasons is that there are already customized Intranet components, such as project costs and budget.

So we will have to upgrade to OpenACS some day in the future (even though I current don't see exactly why...).

FYI, there is a similar application ("Espresso") running online (ASP) at http://www.aquarius.net/. You can check it out with a free registration. My intention is to add more or less those components to the ACS Intranet module.

Bests,
Frank
