Dave, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for reminding us
that there is a lot that remains for us to make OpenACS
accessible to more people. I mean this: honest constructive
feedback like yours is what we need to make OpenACS more
widespread and successful. You're 100% right on concerning
documentation. We need an OpenACS 4.x developer's guide.
Work has been done in that area, but more work is necessary.
I am making a commitment right now (hold me to it!) to take what
we've learned at OpenForce in the past 8 months of developing
two large applications - one OpenACS 4/Oracle and one
OpenACS 4/PG - and produce a concise, clear, practical guide to
building OpenACS 4.x applications.
If there are specific issues that confuse you, please continue to
post your questions. Sometimes, honestly *we're* confused by
some concepts introduced by ACS Classic. We need to know
what's confusing everyone and make sure we address all
issues.
Again, thanks for your feedback. This is exactly what we need
from people in the community who want to help but find
themselves at a roadblock.
