Hi Damin, Yes we would. We would love this as a cause study Can you write up a synopsis and also approach the customer to give us clearance to use it. When they have said yes, drop me a line and we can go forward.   L.   From: Damian Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 April 2004 5:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK   I wooda thought that a company/ department using CF over a number of years (5 in this case) moving from CF 4.5 to 5 to MX (hopefully) would be a wonderful example for a case study – Damo, do you wanna speak to your people?   -----Original Message----- From: Lucas Sherwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 April 2004 17:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK   Nope spot on… But in this case we might (being government and all) I actually can not say. We would need the people responsible to sign it off first (see other mail)   L.   From: Stephen Pope [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 April 2004 3:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK   Just to clarify .. MM prolly wouldn't want to promote a CF5 site hehe   From: Stephen Pope Sent: 15 April 2004 15:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK But its ColdFusion 5 :�) From: Damian Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 April 2004 15:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK Well surely some of the DfES stuff is worth mentioning i.e. TeacherNet… the whole department more or less exclusively uses ColdFusion and spends (probably) in the millions per year on CF driven websites… Damo – submit it as a showcase!  So Macromedia have one big government client – why don’t I see more evangelizing to other departments… US gov has a huge CF presence if I’m not mistaken and the UK government usually does anything they say in IT…   For small-medium clients there needs to be quick and dirty statistical information from somewhere authoritative to show that   a) development time can be reduced b) code can be more easily redeveloped c) costs can be kept down   As someone else said, it’s a question of positioning not quality of product…   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 April 2004 12:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK   would it be an idea to compile a list of good CF sites? Maybe hand it to MM on a plate?! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 April 2004 11:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK those two were sites of the day in spring 2002.  Has there really not been any UK CF sites worth mentioning in the last 2 years?   Paul Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 15/04/2004 11:37 Please respond to dev                 To:        [EMAIL PROTECTED]         cc:                 Subject:        Re: [ cf-dev ] The state of ColdFusion in the UK Matt Horn wrote: >>Anyway... enough of a rant!
