>- see footer for list info -< I've not seen anything CF on Yahoo. Are you saying there is a group there already or that that's a place to put one?
I disagree with most of your points but I can't put into words why! Are you saying "if it's not done right, don't do it at all"? Who's to say that it won't develop into something better? What's wrong with a site full of links? If you're a CF developer in Dublin and you see a site for Dublin based CF developers, surely that'll bring some joy to your heart?! At least it's a start. So the site doesn't kick you in the nuts with it's design and structure, again, it's better than nothing.

But the development of a decent site obviously is a problem; it's crap. Although you may have honourable intentions of giving something back to the community that has supported you, the site doesn't seem to provide anything apart from links to other sites. Not a bad thing necessarily, but why wrap those links up inside a horrible user-interface when you already have a Yahoo group? I actually think this is detrimental to the perception of the ColdFusion community from the outside. We are a community of developers with an image problem due to poor coding and, historically, limited functionality of the CFML language. Although coding standards have improved and the historical limitations of CFML as a programming language have largely been addressed, there is still perception that CFML is a "kids" programming language which HTMLers use to get data from databases and display on web pages. A user group web site which is well below standard does not help convince people otherwise. Personally, I would be willing to help out with the site if I thought it was worthwhile, but if I'm brutally honest, I really don't think a web site for a tiny community of CF developers in Dublin is of any use. Why duplicate effort? There are loads of other CF developer sites out there that provide the kind of service that you seem to be aiming for. Does it matter if they are hosted on the other side of the world?
