Forum OpenACS Development: Response to Open 4.6 items & project status

Collapse
Posted by Ben Adida on
Here are the OpenACS packages that OpenForce currently manages (although we've also gotten many patches from the community on these! Thanks to all contributors):
  • forums - in good state (thanks all for the patches!)
  • calendar (uggh) - in okay state, wish we could rewrite it from scratch
  • attachments - works well, integrated with forums and calendar
  • notifications - works well, integrated with forums, manages incoming email queues
  • acs-mail-lite - you should all use this! It's cool! :)
  • bulk-mail - works well, spam with subst vars
  • new-portal / portal - still a bit rough to use outside of dotLRN, but getting there (moving this to OpenACS)
  • a bunch of portlet packages - FAQ, news, calendar, bulk-mail, forum (moving these to OpenACS)
  • a handful of revamped Tcl APIs in the core (permission, etc...)
  • profile-provider and user-profile
  • user-preferences - not quite ready for prime time
