your just not speeing the potential, then, its a mmugs, not directed only at cfer's per se, or coders or designers, I'm thinking ahead, maybe 5 years from now, building community among developers,there's a growing awareness in education circles of the need for developing IT infrastructure like this to harness different talents of those interested in the web in different ways. I'm working on a possible alliance with a US mmug to give it a buzz, gather your not interested anyway, forget the challenge then, still you make good points, links on it are good:) I'll put up another site over the next week or so, basically I wsas hoping yu'd come along and do a complete redesign...some chance there, again ta for the prodding... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Woods Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 11:27 AM To: Coldfusion Development Subject: RE: [work] Re: [CF-Dev] OT: dreamweaver >- see footer for list info -< >The development of a decent site is not a problem, the real problem is >getting enough developers like yourself( that is, if your not just a >knocker) to make it worthwhile in fun ways. 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?
