Thanks Vince. 1) I am new to GAE and what I learned in the past 2 days is that one of the biggest issues at GAE is that it is impossible to write to the GAE filesystem. Am I correct that GaeVFS is a plug-in that makes the imposibble possible? Does this plug-in make it easier to port ColdBox or other frameworks to GAE? 3) IMHO that's a pity. You could announce some hot releases very easy to your followers (one of them would be me ;-)
