Wow, good memories. I was into Greenspun's writings, ArsDigita, AOLServer, OpenACS. Even managed OpenACS releases for while. Lots of good people there at that time, with concepts that only later became mainstream: application servers, database connection pooling, templating, user-registered tags, decent databases (mysql wasn't included in that list).
We ported the ArsDigita Community System to PostgreSQL, added a lot of features into it with the subsequent addition of .LRN, a learning-management system the Berklee School of Music funded IIRC, and many other things.
Aaron Schwartz, Ben Adida, Don Baccus, Michael Cleverly, and many many others besides myself (Roberto Mello) were contributors.
