Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Redesign of OpenACS.org - New Features

Collapse
Posted by Ben Adida on
Remember that there is a big difference between "showing the full
potential of OpenACS" and "customizing OpenACS." You can customize
OpenACS to do anything you want. However, the more custom stuff you
build on OpenACS.org the web site, the higher you set the expectation
for what it can do out of the box. You'll get users saying "hey, you
mean I have to work for 40-60 hours to get to the level I saw on
OpenACS.org? that sucks!"

Thus, any work put into customizing OpenACS.org, unless it's minor
details, might be better spent on the toolkit, making it more useful
out of the box, as many have requested....
