3: Response to Bitzi uses ACS (response to 1)
Posted by Mike Linksvayer on
Oops, forgot to remove the /doc directory in acs-subsite. We're using ACS4/Tcl and doing all development inhouse. I just submitted Bitzi to aD's list of ACS sites, hopefully it will show up there soon.

I would've loved to use PostgreSQL and would for almost any other web project. If Bitzi is successful, we'd push far beyond what anyone has tried with PG so far, and we can't afford to pioneer areas that aren't core to the business (that's one reason using ACS was such a no-brainer). I hope Bitzi will be the last project I feel a need to use a proprietary database for.

CDDB is one of our models, though we're certainly not going to follow their example of screwing the community! If you're interested in this sort of issue, check out our 'OpenBits' project, and in general check out InfoAnarchy and a recent article on Bitzi there.
