	OpenACS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Open Architecture Community System (OpenACS) is an advanced open-source toolkit for developing community web applications licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
		OpenACS runs on AOLserver with either Oracle or PostgreSQL as its database.
		In 2002, after the ACS code tree forked, the Tcl code base came to be maintained by the OpenACS project.

	OpenACS Packages \| Linux Journal
		OpenACS 4 (Open Architecture Community System), the toolkit for creating on-line communities that was initially examined here last month, dramatically improves on earlier versions in a number of ways.
		Because of how the OpenACS templating system works, it's not unusual for a single web page to use three files: a.tcl file for setting variables, an.xql file that defines the SQL query used to retrieve rows from the database and an.adp file that is responsible for turning the information into HTML.
		OpenACS will ask you for the URL of the APM or the name of the directory in which one or more packages reside.

		OpenACS is a toolkit to build online communities, that is, sites which value users and their contributions.
		I plan to add more stuff soon, but OpenACS is in the midst of releasing its next version, so I'm concentrating my extensive free time in that endeavor.
		OpenACS is useful when you want to allow a bunch of users to each have complete control over their own personal websites, yet also allow those users to interact with each other, perhaps even aggregating content from multiple users in one place.

	OpenACS \| Linux Journal
		Moreover, OpenACS is built on collective experience gained from building such communities, which is reflected in the sophistication of the data model and applications.
		OpenACS thus includes a new, more advanced templating system that breaks each page into two parts: a Tcl page that sets variables and an ADP page that retrieves those variable values.
		OpenACS may sound extremely complex, but it actually consists of only four parts: 1) an installed PostgreSQL or Oracle server; 2) AOLserver, compiled with nsxml (the XML-parsing module for AOLserver), the PostgreSQL and/or Oracle driver and an appropriate configuration file; 3) the OpenACS data model; and 4) OpenACS Tcl libraries, Tcl pages and ADP pages.

	A Quick Intro to OpenACS Templating
		In OpenACS, the webpage that is most similar to the HTML page you're used to is an ADP page.
		What OpenACS adds to HTML is a couple of extentions which allow you to incorporate dynamic information from a database.
		OpenACS has a very powerful way of separating code and presentation.

		OpenACS is a web toolkit built on top of AOLServer.
		There we have the connection to Philip Greenspun, the operator of photo.net, and author of two books about database backed websites in which he uses the beginnings of ACS as his examples.
		It doesn't yet support the full OpenACS toolkit, but by avoiding unsupported API calls you should be able to write high performance web applications in TCL that run under either AOLServer or Apache.

	Collaboraid - External Auth Spec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Each user in OpenACS will belong to exactly one domain, which can either be the "local" OpenACS users table, in which case the password column is used, or it can be some external authority, which will be communicated with using some protocol, as implemented by an authentication driver.
		OpenACS will come pre-configured with one domain, which is the "local" domain, meaning we'll authenticate as normal using the local users table.
		Alternatively, if you want to combine this with fallback to OpenACS accounts, we would instead present the normal login screen, but put a button which says "Login using X", where X is the redirection-based external authority.

	OpenACS Installation on OS X
		Nearly everyone in the OpenACS community uses emacs, and Bart Teeuwisse's Emacs OACS module turns emacs into a great integrated development environment that automagically handles tcl, sql and xml code as appropriate.
		These documents include lots of information unnecessary for OpenACS (like working with PHP, Java, and Perl), but they don't mention building with tcl, which is important for some of the optional modules.
		Note: there is something funky about running multiple OpenACS sites on OS X with each site assigned to a different port on the localhost loopback address (127.0.0.1) (for example, one site on 127.0.0.1:8000 and another on 127.0.0.1:8001).

	Why OpenACS? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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, proven foundation that will give you a 3-6 month headstart.
		I added a few tables (this was an older version of openACS - now I'd probably use the content repository), a few custom scripts, and had a working model up in no time.

		OpenACS is an open-source success story, being a piece of software that has survived and flourished after the demise of the company that created it.
		OpenACS has a package manager, similar to Red Hat’s RPM and Debian’s APT, allowing individual modules to be loaded and unloaded, so if you don’t need ecommerce right now, you can always install it later.
		OpenACS runs on many Unix variants (including Mac OS X), and is based on two fundamental technologies: the AOLserver web application server, and the PostgreSQL relational database.

	Collaboraid - Vision and priorities for OpenACS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The toolkit features of OpenACS are very important, because it lets us efficiently build applications and features that attract users, and it makes OpenACS perfect for slapping a good web UI on top of older back-end systems (systems integration above), I do not see toolkit as a goal in itself.
		The bottom line is that we should make OpenACS as valueable and attractive out of the box, as a very well-integrated and fully-featured groupware platform, with specializations in education and project-management, which also integrates well with third-party software, targeted at people who aren't religius about technology.
		For integration within OpenACS, if we want to play the integrated nature of OpenACS to our advantage, the key is integrating the site-wide services, such as categories, notifications, RSS feeds, workflow, and WebDAV, to cover all applications.

	The OpenACS e-learning infrastructure
		OpenACS provides a standard data model and API that are briefly described in the next section.
		In OpenACS, when a page is requested by a user, the request processor authenticates the user, then utilizes the user/group module (part of the core system) to authorize or not the request.
		OpenACS can support complex user hierarchies by defining “parties” that may be: “users” identifiable by a distinct email, or a “person” with distinctive first and last name, or a “group” that maybe one or more of the above, or even other groups.

	OpenACS Templates \| Linux Journal
		The OpenACS templates are rather sophisticated in the way they collect and return data and make it possible to perform many types of automatic error checking that would otherwise be tedious or simply ignored.
		Their values are substituted in place of those on the HTML page before the HTML is sent to the user's browser, which means that data sources can define not only text, but also image names and stylesheet attributes.
		While OpenACS is often touted as a remarkable system because of its elaborate data model and advanced applications, I have found the templates to be one of the more compelling parts of OpenACS.

	Why isn't OpenACS sending email? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ok, you installed OpenACS, and it's supposed to be sending email notifications when someone posts in the forums, and more importantly, it's supposed to tell you when someone requests a membership so that you can approve them.
		(If it isn't set, OpenACS will try to connect to 'localhost', which is fine, as long as your mailserver is listening on localhost.) Make sure you don't have MailHost set to the wrong IP address.
		You should see OpenACS connect to the mailserver to send email, and then see the mailserver connect to the remote mailserver to deliver the message.

	Oasis VM: The OpenACS Virtual Machine
		It occurred to me that other users in the ACS community could benefit from the approach of downloading a VM, and testing out the software, but at the time there was no OpenACS, and I didn't think Oracle would appreciated it if I distributed their software (later I asked them - nope, they really don't).
		When OpenACS was announced, I realized that now that all the ACS components were free, I had a green light on distributing an openACS VM, so that's what I've created.
