Well, as far as differentiation goes, that question is probably best
asked of the OpenACS community members who have investigated
alternative tools in-depth, in order to learn what the competitors do
well and poorly, and thus perhaps shed light on how to further improve
and differentiate OpenACS.
We have at least one active contributor
(Jun? I forget.)
with extensive Red Hat CCM experience, and probably a whole bunch more
(e.g.)
who have between them either evaluated or used for real one or two
dozen of other systems as well. And hasn't
Lars
been doing lots of work with Ruby on Rails lately? What's the story
there?
Perhaps competitive market analysis simply means getting all those
OpenACS folks together in one room for a day. Preferably with beer,
and if they have enough interest, preferably with preparatory work by
each participant beforehand as well.
