OpenAcs

Open Ars Digita Community Server.

http://openacs.org

Based on the "old" version of Ars Digita, so it is in Tcl (the new one is in Java). Tries to make it easy to access an underlying database from anywhere in the code. Uses AOLServer. Has a "data model" with routines to deal with "objects" of data of various types (types are like OOP classes). Comes with lots of modules for common tasks (poll, message board, etc). The object data model supports privilages (i.e. some users don't have access to some things).
