I am reposting comments I made on the railo mail list. I would like to point the discussion to the http://groups.google.com/group/cfml-conventional-wisdom group for followup.
I just found out about the death of the CFML Advisory Committee (CAC). I have been using ColdFusion since version 4.5 and I was one of the beta testers for version 5, 6 and 7. While I might be unknown to the CFML committee by name I have been following what happens for a good 10 years. I was very happy with the creation of the CAC. I thought it would finally give a bigger voice to the community. I expected there to be a open mailing list where anyone could watch the process and jump in when they wanted to help / influence that process. From my experience with beta testing CF, I was / am very frustrated with the process. My main comment is not about what happened to the CAC but where do we go from here. The CFML community needs a place to share what they want to see in the language. If that is not the CAC then who / where do we look for this forum? -- Best regards, Andrew Penhorwood [email protected] www.coldbits.com -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon official manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ Ready2Run CFML http://www.openbluedragon.org/openbdjam/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
