OpenACS
Open Architecture Community System, a Tcl toolkit for building community-oriented web applications.
OpenACS is a toolkit for building community-oriented web applications, written in Tcl and published on GitHub under the GNU General Public License. The core packages live in the openacs-core repository, whose install notes name Oracle or PostgreSQL as the database. The OpenACS community maintains the software.
It runs as a server process that a keepalive mechanism restarts when it halts, and it carries internationalization and localization for the user interface.
Worth knowing
The project’s own website, openacs.org, did not answer when this record was checked, so the record has no homepage link and is listed as a stub until the site responds again.
