Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to New OpenACS.org Preliminary Site Map has been Posted

Yon and others,

The idea of having vertical-specific OpenACS installations is
definitely the way we want to go, and I'm happy to see that people are
coming up with this idea on their own. OpenACS needs to be a "back-end
technology," meaning where you can have:

- BITS, the powerful bug tracking system (powered by OpenACS)

- OpenACES, the easiest online education management system (powered by
OpenACS)

- OpenCommerce, the simplest online store system (powered by OpenACS)

- ... you get the picture

There is no doubt that this is where we want to go. However, if we
want to discuss this, let's start a separate thread, because this is
Talli's site map thread, and the vertical-specific versions of OpenACS
are a bit further off into the future.
