Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Making OpenACS stronger

Collapse
Posted by Tracy Adams on
I'm confused.  From interactions with Ben, I was under the impression than he wanted us to pursue using OpenACS for TCL clients and be members of the OpenACS community.  In fact, he seemed pretty aggressive about that.

While it is true we haven't done everything right, we've still contributed vast amounts of code and utility to this community through ACS and by extension, OpenACS.  We changed the database
API at your request to it easier to make the software database
independent, and thus support the OpenACS Port.  The server that
hosts openacs.org is owned and hosted by ArsDigita. I know I've personally spent hundreds of hours on code that is currently in OpenACS.  I know many others that have done the same.

While there are things I wished we did better, all in all,
ArsDigita has contributed a lot of value to this community.
