Templates specify the layout of the page separately from the contents of the page. Graphic designers work primarily on the layout part of the template (the template), while programmers work primarily a script that generates the content part of the template (the code). In addition, the template system provides a way to use a single layout specification for many physical pages, so the overall layout of a site can be more easily administered. acs-templating 6.0.0d7 acs-kernel 6.0.0d1, acs-tcl 5.10.1

RSS Support Basic support for RSS generation and parsing. RDF Site Summary (RSS) is a lightweight multipurpose extensible metadata description and syndication format. This package can be used to publish site content in a manner useful to other websites and webservices.

For each item (news event, ticket, bboard message, ...) that you want to publish, you create a property list that describes that item (url to item, title of item, description of item, etc.). You pass a list of those items (and some other parameters) to rss_gen, and it will generate your XML for you. You can also implenent a set of functions that satisfy the RSS service contracts and the RSS can be recreated from a scheduled procedure.

s5 S5 is a slide show format by Eric A. Meyer based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible. Anyone with even a smidgen of familiarity with HTML or XHTML can look at the markup and figure out how to adapt it to their particular needs. Anyone familiar with CSS can create their own slide show theme. It's totally simple, and it's totally standards-driven. This package provides facilities to write XoWiki pages that can be displayed as both plain web pages and as slideshow presentations.

XOTcl Core
This component contains some core functionality for OpenACS
applications using XOTcl. It includes
XOTcl thread handling for OpenACS (supporting persistent and
volatile threads) and a definitions for
documenting XOTcl object, classes and methods
integrated with the API-browser of OpenACS. Documented
procs and instproc an be created using the methods ad_proc
and ad_instproc. This component provides as
well an XOTcl Object and Class browser, as well as
means to control the recreation of objects and classes
when components are reloaded.
Features:
- oo-abstraction with caching (acs-objects and cr-items/revisions)
- single and multi instantiations (turn all tuples into objects)
- object life-time support (automatic cleanup when needed after request)
- proxy objects for stored procedures/functions (PostgreSQL and Oracle)
- db-abstraction for PostgreSQL and Oracle (e.g. query composition)
- context-management: context objects for (connections and db-queries)
- security policies
- GUI and DOM support (via tdom)
- support for XOTcl and NX

XOTcl Request Monitor
This package provides a Request Monitor for OpenACS applications. It computes performance 
summary information such as requests/views per second, average response time, number
 of users connected, lists currently active threads, etc. Furthermore, it can block 
overactive users (e.g. automated web-bots mirroring the site, users repeating running 
queries, etc.). It provides as well some user tracking (such as whos-online) with 
activity measures, it blocks repeated requests (impatient reloads), tracks switching 
of IP addresses from users, and provides request tracking per user for the monitored 
time window. It contains as well overall URL statistics with performance measures.
Updated for circumventing handler calls OpenACS 5.2 for /resources/*. 
0.28 provides calls for listing active communities and users active in these communities. 
0.30 provides nice graphical charts (many thanks to Nima) and a new interface to the 
     background thread. In addition,  ns_returnfile_background is included;

XoWiki is a Wiki implementation for OpenACS in XOTcl. Instead of
trying to implement the full set of Wiki markup commands of systems
like MediaWiki, XoWiki is based on a rich text editor and focuses more
on integration with OpenACS (e.g. categories, general comments,
ADP-includes). XoWiki combines aspects of wikis (ease of
page-creation) with aspects of a content management system (revisions,
reusable items, multiple languages). Furthermore, XoWiki allows one to
define different types of links such one could define book-structures
(where a navigation structure could be built on the fly) or glossaries
with different kind of word relationships (like synonyms,
etc.). XoWiki supports pages in multiple languages and is localized.

Some features:
  - cross language links
  - inclusion of ADP pages
  - nesting of Wiki-pages
  - large set of includable content (includelets)
  - search
  - tags
  - categories
  - RSS
  - weblog
  - podcasts
  - notifications
  - web 2.0 gadgets (digg, delicious, my yahoo)
  - audio embedding
  - different appearances (template_file)
  - book-structures
  - prototype pages
  - import/export
  - virtual presence
  - analysis of collaboration networks
  - forms
  - named/unnamed pages
  - various security policies
