"repelled by the fact that TCL isn't PHP", gosh, I'm sure glad my
income doesn't depend on selling projects to "sophisticated" customers
like that. (I'm afraid I wouldn't be very good at, and would hate it
even if I was.)
Of course OpenACS is not "just a thin layer on top of
Oracle", never was, and has probably become substantially less so
since Philip first made that bogus claim way back when. On the other
hand, emphasizing the importance and power of the data model perhaps a
bit more difficult to do), seems very much appropriate to me. AFAIK
the emphasis on and quality of the underlying data model is still the
single biggest factor differentiating OpenACS from other toolkits.
Regardless, these sorts of hands-on "marketing from the trenches"
anecdotes are interesting, thanks for posting, Frank.
