Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Sizzle vs. Steak

Speaking as one of those folks that is willing to work, but does not have the skills to actually build a "out-of-the-box" solution, I wonder what I can do. This is perhaps the most critical need that I have with the system-- this out of the box functionality.

I understand the ACS architecture and functionality, I can code html and am working up to being comfortable with .adp pages. I'm a product manager for enterprise software by trade, so I deal in product roadmaps, requirements, specifications and QA testing. Is there anything I can do to help put one of these out-of-the-box implementations together?

Since I would like to see if OpenACS can become a platform for some nonprofit/ community technology application development, it will be critical to have immediate utility/ immediate return installations of OpenACS avaliable... preferably as a rpm.
