Now, when we speak open-source are we shoorting for makeing an open-source
application for the Cold FUsion application server? Or are we trying to come
up with the best path to take like which application server to use? I
thought this was CF?
my 2 cents

Hi,
An open source CMS that really desires to offer a fully open-source web
toolkit, must be an inexpensive and good solution. The focus is on good
though, it needs to provide developers with a better/equal end product than
you would end up with by purchasing the system outright. Since CF isn't
free, this automaticlly creates a situation where this solution will be more
expensive than one based on php, aolserver, even .asp. So the focus is on
quality, and a good/free/scalable database platform to drive everything.
PostgreSQL is the most advanced open-source RDBMS available (I think). It
supports most of the ANSI SQL92 standard that Craig mentions, and it is
increasing support for the standard as it evolves. It provides transactions,
efficient locking optimized for web applications, and a pretty good
interface for setup and administration.
I assume this has all been mentioned but since open source CF will
inherently be more expensive that the alternatives the focus must be on a
really superior CMS/framework solution, based on a good free DBMS, that
makes the cost of the app server a justifiable no brainer (while leveraging
the capabilities of the app server, i.e. CF 6.0).
