ACS 4 or OpenACS 4? I was in this shoes about a couple of months ago. Trying OpenACS 4 and ACS 4, consulting Don B, looking at the community. I decided to use OpenACS 4. Looking back I am happy that I think believe that I made the right decision. If OpenACS 4 vs ACS 4 was something to think about a few months ago, right now there is only OpenACS 4. The only thing that I can think of using ACS 4 are:
- Its not a moving source code anymore. Ofcourse its somehow a dead code now but if you can't keep up with the fast moving code of OpenACS 4 then ACS 4 maybe ok.
- Its got better marketing value. Its rated as production rather than alpha. Those are just markings that says nothing of the real state of the code.
