There are a few things you might want to do once you've
upgraded. First, the acs-kernel parameters need to be set to
allow HREF and IMG tags, if you want users who can edit HTML
to be able to insert HREF and IMG tags. Also, you might need
to set the default language for your site. See the above
link on OpenACS 5.0 Upgrade Experiences for details.
