I'll look into the display of the subject in replies. It is only supposed to display if it is different.

We are moving forward, and while we are gaining easier integration of packages, some features have been left out.

Thanks for pointing out features that you would like to see added to the system. Please be sure to read the forums to see if the issue you are asking about has alrady been discussed.

I really would like to see people submitting these requests to the bugtracker for the web site. You can check to see if an item has already been requested. This makes it much easier for volunteers who want to help out to pick one item and fix it.

This is an open source community, and as such anyone who has something to contribute can submit bug reports, feature requests and patches to the bugtrack at https://openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs.org/ for features or bugs that relate directly to this web site or https://openacs.org/bugtracker/opeancs/ for the OpenACS toolkit.

All the code that runs this web site is available for download from the CVS repository and browsable at https://openacs.org/cvs/

We know that this web site needs work, but we felt it was very important to have OpenACS.org running on the latest version of the code. I think it is great that we now have the code that runs the site available for developers to learn from. So while we have issues to deal with in migrating the site, everyone in the community will benefit. Very soon we will post the scripts and procedures we used to  migrate from OpenACS 3.2 to OpenACS 4.6. This will be very useful also.

So thanks again for commenting on the site, but please be patient with us while we work through this together.
