I think we are barking up the wrong tree. Adobe do no less marketing than JSP or PHP and they are still popular. Sure .NET do more, but Microsoft can afford to.
ColdFusion isn't mainstream, it's never going to be mainstream, it's growth in use is probably only reflective of how many additional people are doing web development, not because it's more popular than year X. But I don't pick a technology based on popularity or marketing and shiny brochures. I pick one that does the job I need and offers me something. So while it would be nice if Adobe did more in Australia, it won't have any significant impact, even in the Firmware days ColdFusion wasn't mainstream. The reason it isn't main stream, is the cost, Adobe can argue this however they like, but if ColdFusion were free 10+ years ago, I think ColdFusion would be mainstream now. It's too late now, even if made free, it would need to both be free and heavily marketed, which cost wise probably doesn't make sense. It will be interesting to see how Adobe handle the proposed Server Side ActionScript marketing and pricing. It will be interesting to see if Railo can succeed, from what I can tell New Atlanta BlueDragon has failed.

If I join up to be a reseller I shouldn't have to be manually added into the reseller system and then into the website so I can be found for searching. And in addition to that, as a paying partner member if I google "adobe coldfusion partner australia" I would atleast expect to get people listed as partners on the adobe website but I don't. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Beattie [mailto:barry.beat...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 31 May 2010 11:40 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Re: JB-HI Moving to dotnet > Quite frankly, I don't really care WHY things are broken, you should - because even if it's fixed, it'll be unfixed given enough time.
