So I'm really pumped about AOL Server and TCL. Its good stuff! Since first trying it out a few weeks ago and weeding through a bunch of docs, I've found aolserver4-nsxml.

I've tweaked it a little and have been able to conclude that AOL Server is going to work great for this project.

Nice work people!

Open NSD, like a lot of AOL Server / TCL stuff, is way old school, but totally awesome t the same time. From what I've gathered, Open NSD was a fork of AOL Server by the ACS folks.

ACS (now OpenACS) is the arsdigita community server, which works hand in AOL Server. It was created by the fine folks at arsdigita in Cambridge, Massachusetts, some of whom were affiliated with MIT, like Philip Greenspun (actually a professor there).

So why revive Open NSD? Well there are a few links out there in the world pointing towards the domain, and I figure if someone clicks on one, they should at least find some information about AOL Server, TCL, and the like. And it just so happens I'm working on a software package having to do with these topics, called RobotizeME.com.

So far I really like AOL Server and TCL, but I am going to have to do some work on nsxml.c.
