I'm sitting at a c@p site (canada public internet access site) in Nova Scotia, thought I'd check in to see what's up ...

<blockquote><i>For the OpenACS Core team - Are we planning to keep the packages for ACS Classic and OpenACS as similar as possible? Is there a point where we will fork the package code completely?

We are forking but will pick up improvements as they become available. Since aD is dropping ACS Tcl development, consider this picking-up of improvements as a winding-down process.

Ed - OpenACS 4.x supports Oracle as well as Postgres, but the framework, with the query dispatcher and partially rewritten bootstrap installer provides a different environment than ACS 4.x Classic. Sharing sources directly would only be possible if aD started using that framework. We need to do performance testing of and most likely efficiency hacking on the query dispatcher before we could really recommend the new framework for a production environment. It's still in pre-release form...
