Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Wondering about OpenACS community....

The core technology is in pretty good shape, as Gustaf states. The packages included in the basic .LRN bundle are all in usable shape - forums, calendar, file storage, and the like. Problems with these aren't so much a matter of being broken, but rather a perhaps too-lax attitude towards allowing a confusing array of extensions to be committed to our source tree. Certain other packages are actively maintained or being developed - see recent comments in the forums about e-commerce, for instance.

If you have specific questions or problems as you move forward, post here, or visit #openacs in IRC. You'll get answers, though not necessarily immediately. If you're curious as to how the community leadership teams (.LRN and OCT) function, feel free to lurk in IRC during meeting times (1700 GMT Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively).
