Forum OpenACS CMS: Re: Top Ten (or Five?) Features you want in an OpenACS CMS

Posted by Dave Bauer on
The goal is to build another package. CMS works, for the most part, but is not really usable. It also uses the old acs-workflow, and exposes the wrong bits in a programmer friendly way. It is almost a nice user interface to the content repository pl/sql apis.

There are two goals. One to build a nice cms framework package, and two to build a nice CMS user interface package to include as a sample with OpenACS. We know that people will want to customize or build their own user interface, so we want to move as much common code out of tcl/adp pages and into  a tcl library. The current CMS package contains much of the logic inside the pages.
