Origins

Akara is a new synthesis of the following older projects:

  • 4Suite repository
  • WSGI.xml
  • xsltemplates
  • Akara 1.0

There was an abortive Akara 1.0 branch, which is abandoned for Akara 2.0 plans.

Developer notes

Akara Enterprise

An option Akara component focusing more on enterprise-grade features for CMS and data management. Stuff like:

  • Workflow
  • Distributed transactions
  • Packaging & distribution

  • LDAP and other plug-able auth systems

Note: much of this is already in 4Suite repository and just needs to be migrated.
