It's absolutely right to be wary of switching over to something
that may be half-baked.  But I'm equally concerned that you and
jo2y are (AFAIK) the only WPLUGers who know OpenACS, and your time
is spoken for by The Collective.

If we can get people up to speed on OpenACS to add the
functionality we're looking for, great.  I tried reading the
documentation and was utterly baffled (which admittedly isn't too
difficult to do).

As I said on -plan, the server is going to be run by whatever
volunteer labor we can scrounge up, so IMO the best CMS is
"whatever everyone else is using."

I'm also not too sure about bolting on MediaWiki and other
services to the existing site, since that adds yet another access
control system to keep current and more packages to maintain.

That's one man's semi-informed opinion, anyway.
