this is truly great! nice work!

oh by the way, i have a comment for you ... great theme. you won't believe this, but did you know i was working on a mockup that was VERY VERY SIMILAR for oacs?

jesus thats about as close as you can get ... the grey gradient, orange crystal graphics, lots of colour, simple layout. thats very close to how i envisioned the new theme.

damn, very nice work.

let me ask you this, what is the purpose of this site? how does it work with oacs overall? i would love to have something like this with a generic oacs install as well available for live testing for users.

thoughts?

Hi Robert,

The purpose is to allow anyone possibly interested on openacs & .LRN to actually try it at the application level (functionalities), but also at the technical level through ssh access, so you can hack it, stuff like that. Also, we would like to see it as another possible entry to the OpenACS world, where we focus more on the people who might be interested on it.

Next steps is to provide custom installations (.LRN, plain oacs, project-manager, etc.).

BTW, if you wanna use the template, just grab it.

That's the idea, so spread the site!
