Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to How long can the OpenACS community get away with being an island?

Ben Adida,

You're right about this:" Marketing for business folks? I continue to believe that this remains the job of the various OpenACS companies, not of OpenACS.org or the developer community."

..but they need information about OpenACS for the presentations etc. for example: capabilities, limitations, strengths, weaknesses.  The OpenACS.org community knows these answers best, and should have them presented (honestly, accurately) in a kind of marketing-situation-analysis in the beginner docs.

If info on competing systems is unavailable, then OpenACS is in an even better position. Business types don't like risks associated with unknowns.
