Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Copenhagen - New Portal

The above isn't *quite* accurate as we could extend the existing dotLRN new-portal package with the additional features needed to use it standalone.

But the partial rewrite of the dotLRN new-portal package is a better place to start because Open Force did indeed make significant steps in creating a lighter weight datamodel, cleaning up the Tcl library code, etc.  The goal is to write the necessary upgrade scripts so that existing dotLRN installs can use the cleaned-up version.  It isn't the intent that there be two portal modules, one for OpenACS and one for dotLRN, but rather than both be the cleaned-up version.
