I think it's becoming increasingly evident that while OpenACS is perhaps a
technologically superior product, it's much more difficult to work with, and
we have few people who know or are willing to learn tcl which is the
underlying code.  We've had more volunteers to work with PHP, which is what
PostNuke is based on.

The trade offs are between a more featured but more complicated system and a
less featured but easy to manage system. I'm leaning towards PostNuke, as
it's much easier to manage, and it's still early in it's life cycle and
there's likely to be more functionality available as it matures.

That's my $0.02 worth...
