Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Using Sourceforge Subversion for OpenACS

Merv,

I think Daniel is right. Just having a listing on sourceforge doesn't help the community as much as the community itself, promiting the toolkit. Writing about how you use OpenACS, and showing with actual web sites built on OpenACS seems like a much more effective way to promte the toolkit.

At one time, most folks found OpenACS by reading http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/ which is basically a bunch of web pages describing the toolkit and its philopshy in detail. Of course, OpenACS has moved on from there. So that kind of information, whether its in a good, or distributed on a network of folks blogging about OpenACS seems like an effective way to teach people about OpenACS.
