The other approach is the Slashcode way. I think it would be good just to make the new openacs.org a tarball and let people download the generic setup. That way they get what they see.
So I think it's a good idea to post your thoughts on the new openacs.org thread.
<subliminal>not enough people posting their ideas for openacs.org.</subliminal>
or does no one have any ideas of how to improve the site? do we just know how to piss off don some more? that's not really hard, you know...
