Normally, one gets better answers on simple and clearly formulated questions. When people have troubles to understand the question (maybe due to lack of background information, or complexity) they find it hard to answer. This is a universal principle.
A lack of response might have many reasons. There are many people are using OpenACS in their daily work, but they don't follow the forums, or at least, they don't participate... for whatever reason. It is also a fact that we have more "old sites" than "new sites". Actually the number of public OpenACS sites is now higher than it was a year ago, which might be due to the latest release. Certainly, when we all work together, we can improve the product, which has many nice properties - but as well rough edges.
