My thoughts - quote from Adam: "It is today, as it was before. Innovation and progress in CFML is driven exclusively by the ColdFusion community. Adobe is merely a vessel that pours those ideas into ColdFusion and spread CFML advancements throughout the world. As a community, we never needed the OpenCFML board to guide or document feedback."
I would alter that to be 'Adobe is the CURRENT vessel' since from the beginning CFML innovation was always driven by the community going back to the days of Allaire and the Team Allaire members. If the OpenBD team claims it is not organized enough to submit ideas then they are most likely not organized enough to release a new version of OpenBD and certainly not organized enough to be innovative. This is unfortunate since the commercial version of BlueDragon used to be innovative. If Railo Team claims they want to wait and see what tags flush out in their flavor of CFML then two things are true, 1: they are implementing language enhancements that are not community driven and 2: Railo would rather take a wait and see role instead or a lead role in the OpenCFML board. 2ยข Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
