Deployment feedback channel

Pupose: A channel for sharing heuristics found in the installation and deployment of OpenACS and its packages.   

1. It may be useful to remember that after successful install of packages like Lars-blogger or Xowiki any content added for testing puposes can (and soon will) be scooped by search engines and/or broadcasted by rss feeds and will thus remain available to the public (and make it avoid your service) for a long time. Parameters and permissions are (often) open by default. Check them first.

2. In version 5.2.2 not very many packages are available. On the other hand, in version 5.1.5 some 5.2.2-packages won't work (dotFOLIO). Several 5.1.5-packages will work onder 5.2.2, if first installed on 5.1.5 and subsequently upgraded to 5.2.2. My current (admittedly Project Open is not yet very well tested) list:

    I have an operational site now and have forgotten to install the Simulation package in the 5.1.5 stage. Correcting this will be time consuming.
