Macromedia has announced that Spectra 1.5 will be the last release to the
product. They will continue to sell and support Spectra 1.5 for two years,
and will then roll it over to a community supported product that I would
suspect would be akin to how the Allaire's Forums product went.
As for alternatives, we're taking a very close look at CommonSpot 2.0 by
PaperThin ( www.paperthin.com ). I believe that they're close to launching
a v2.5 if I understood correctly. At any rate, from what we've seen so far,
it's more mature and user friendly than Spectra was. Tomorrow and Monday,
we'll be having a couple of demos with them. Email me off list and I'll be
glad to give you my impressions then.

I spent 20 mins looking around trying to find information on the 'demise' of
Specta and did not find a thing. I am curious where you obtained this
information, as far as I can tell Spectra is still a completely viable
product.

I'm sure this has been discussed already, so apologies up front.
We are a web co that has been developing Spectra apps for our clients mainly
because of its content management (CM) functionality. With the demise of
Spectra, does anyone know of a reliable and robust ColdFusion CMS that is
commercially available?
Thanks
