I recently posted this about Ray Camden's projects and is related to the aim of your discussion:
Personally, I think Adobe should buy all the projects from you (and a framework like Coldbox or something) as a reward for all your hard work and then support at arms length an open source community/website/system around them. Now that would be incredibly helpful for CF and proactive on their part, though completely contrary to their Enterprise-down approach. (Maybe Bluedragon would be a better fit.) They should consider the projects as valuable add-ons to their server which actually serve the customer's higher goal of acting on the internet, not just coding. In a tiny market like CF, which is going to remain tiny until a decent free server appears, they need to be more nurturing; take more of a Singapore approach. Wouldn't it be cool if, just by using CF, you got access to a killer set of apps? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:278417 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
