I believe there is a need for a descriptive listing of all the models
available for OpenACS. This would help in promoting OpenACS, as in
"click here to see all the functionality that is already in OpenACS."
Or even if I could just refer to such a list to translate into
"Execu-talk."
I could download each and every module and cut out the descriptions,
(Yeah, Yeah ... "Use the force, read the source!") but I do think this
should be a part of the SDM (or something).
There is a list of the module *NAMES* that is accessible via the
"Software" link on the Main page, after you choose the appropriate
version, and click on "general package information." For a newbie,
however, this does not provide much info ...("What does the Skin
module do?")
Oddly, the list for OpenACS-4 does have 2 descriptive entries. My
guess is that there is a descriptive field that is not being filled.
Other helpful listings are the tables under
main/OpenACS-4.x/News/Project Status showing who is taking the lead on
a module, and the status. But still, no description of what the module
does (also seems abit dated).
Perhaps there is already such a listing that I am not finding. In any
case, thanks for all the hard work to get this code out there.
