+Overview

OpenACS (Open Architecture Community System) is an advanced +toolkit for building scalable, community-oriented web applications. +If you're thinking of building an enterprise-level web +application, OpenACS is a solid, scalable framework for building +dynamic content driven sites.

OpenACS is a collection of pre-built applications and services +that you can use to build your web site/application. Through a +modular architecture, OpenACS has packages for user/groups +management, content management, e-commerce, news, FAQs, calendar, +forums, bug tracking, full-text searching, and much +more.

OpenACS relies on AOLserver, the free, +multithreaded, scalable, Tcl-enabled, web/application server used +by America Online for most of its web sites, and a true +ACID-compliant Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). +Currently OpenACS supports PostgreSQL, an open source RDBMS, and +Oracle and is easily extensible to other databases which support a +comparable feature set.

The OpenACS toolkit is derived from the ArsDigita Community +System (ACS). ArsDigita (now part of Red Hat, Inc.) kindly made +their work available under the GPL, making +all of this possible.

The OpenACS project was born when Don Baccus, Ben Adida, and +others decided to port ACS from Oracle to PostgreSQL, thus making +it a fully open-source solution. With OpenACS 4, Oracle and +PostgreSQL support were combined in one code base and with OpenACS +5, support for internationalization and localization has been +added.

A vibrant and productive community has sprung up around the +OpenACS software and there are many volunteer contributors as well +as a commercial companies able to provide support, hosting, and +custom development. Many of the production users are actively +funding and contributing work back to the project. Formal, +consensus driven governance has been established (with semi-annual +elections) which ensures the project serves the needs of it's +constituents.

The OpenACS community would like to hear your comments and can +help you in your endeavors with the system. Visit our web site and +feel free to ask questions or provide feedback.
