Seth Grimes,

OpenACS.org is running the latest stable relase of OpenACS.

OpenACS offers mature components and subsystems (as well as newly developing ones) to help minimize the burden of "Systems design, development, and integration"[1] etc using well tested "Information systems and process architectures"[1]. Besides offering some generic applications (called packages in OpenACS)[2][3], OpenACS provides software components to help you build custom ones. For example, the dynamic API doc[4] creates documentation from code and integrates it with existing documentation. Elements of collaborative systems that are commonly used are prebuilt, such as permissions and objects[5], templating[6], localization[7] et cetera[8].

Hope this helps,

Torben
