8. Where do go I for help and how can I help ?

• http://openacs.org/bboard - the OpenACS installation and configuration bulletin board.
• http://openacs.org/sdm - all bug reports and feature request should go here.
• If you want to help with the OpenACS project, email ben@mit.edu
• http://yourservername.com/doc. Once you have your OpenACS system setup, the /doc directory contains documentation about all modules and many other aspects of the toolkit.

8.1 Why Not MySQL ?

We get this question many times. Ben Adida wrote a short article explaining why OpenACS doesn't use MySQL (which made into Slashdot, giving openacs.org 37,000+ hits on that day). Read it at http://www.openacs.org/why-not-mysql.html.

8.2 Some Useful Links

• aolserver.com and especially aolserver.com/doc/3.0 for AOLserver info and documentation (also included in the source distribution).
• ArsDigita's AOLserver Presentation
• http://photo.net/wtr for lots of good quality information on AOLserver, the ACS and building great web services.
• OpenForce Inc., provides commercial support, customization and other services using OpenACS.

We hope you enjoy OpenACS, and that you can build some great web sites with it. Please consider helping us improve this project.
