OpenACS History, Part 2

Based on issues encountered in building client websites, ACS underwent a re-write (ACS 4), adding some nice new features.

  • centralized request processor

  • abtract URLs

  • nice database access API

  • pervasive templating

  • form manager

aD completed 3/4 of the rewrite before hearing the Java siren song. The OpenACS community then adopted the ACS 4 version and have continuted development.
