That helps, yes. Thanx. > You know, Sean, I don't like the name "Plum IDE," anymore really, because it > isn't a traditional IDE. I wanted to call it "Plum Generator" at one time. I think that would have saved a lot of this confusion. Plum isn't what most people think of as an IDE, it's more of a control center for the generator and framework setup. Plum Generator is fine. Plum Control Center might also be fine. Both names would have set very different expectations and focused people on the configuration and administration aspects of the Plum concept I think. > Actually, we show people how Plum's implementation of the ColdFusion > Application Framework is somewhat different from what they're used to.

Hmm, I guess I just thought this was everyone's best practice already. The Macromedia Web Team CFMX Coding Guidelines have talked about this sort of thing for years (our first internal draft was over three years ago although I can't remember when we put it up on LiveDocs). I guess I'm making assumptions about how a lot of CFers build their apps. Is this global / modular / environmental split not common for folks? > This may sound like marketing drool, but it was actually our positioning > statement: "Plum was designed for developers who want to rapidly prototype > and build solid ColdFusion applications in minimum time." *grin* It's a little... vague... > Sean, I'm sorry if I accused you of trying to talk Plum down yesterday.

You guys have a lot invested in Plum so you're bound to be a bit touchy about perceived criticism. I think we're all getting a much better handle on what you guys intended Plum to do for folks which is good for everyone involved. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187938 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
