hey Ian, we built an CMS for the United Nations using OpenACS. We had to customize though and our system doesn't fully rely on the content repository. If you want I can send you a distribution copy of the package. Under http://www.unido.org/doc/doc you can find a comprehensive documentation about the features/restrictions of the system. /gregor

Hi Gregor.
Is your offer always valid? I am interested in getting a copy of your package. The unido site is one of the best sites I've seen. Great work!

Thomas

Hi Gregor,
thanks for your reply and the offer of a distribution of the package - may take you up on this at some stage. There's been a bit of a gap since my last post - I'm back actively looking at CMS now. The CMS site you've created looks very impressive.

I must admit, I never got my head fully around the OpenACS CMS. There's a few of us here looking at it now so hopefully we'll get a better grip of it.

I have a couple of questions:
1. What are the main differences between your package and the standard OpenACS CMS core package?
and
2. How did you find the OpenACS CMScore package?

I took a look at the UNIDO site. It looks great! I wanted to know how you went about developping such a site with CMS. I want to create a web with the same ideas, where the user can type in the search anything and it will bring up some result. I am currently using OpenACS 4.6.3 with PostgreSQL 7.2 running on Red Hat Linux 8.0. How did you configure the search because my search is not bringing up any results. Plaus I want users to be able to upload and download files.

THank you
