I think I replied to Isaac instead of the list, so this is what I said:
I had not heard of onTap, I will defiantely take a look!
Thanks,

The basic idea is to create a free repository of

developers to develop their applications quicker and
easier, reducing the time to market. It's a way to
standardize the components as well and provide
documentation for them, so that if anyone is having
trouble with a COAL component, any other developer
using COAL will instantly be on the same page.
Hi Ryan,
I've had a look at COAL. It's not bad. This paragraph here of course
describes some of the hopes that have been behind the onTap framework
for a long time as well... it hasn't really worked out that way -- at
least not yet. Mostly because I haven't been able to generate the
interest amongst the developer community. For myself, I'm now able to
produce good quality app work very quickly (think Ruby on Rails for
CF), like the Blogs onTap plugin which I built in a week and is way
more feature-rich than BlogCFC.
I was kind of wondering if you'd seen the onTap framework and if so if
you had any thoughts on it in particular? COAL is certainly not
mutually exclusive -- all I'd have to do is put the coal include in my
application stage and viola - integrated funcationality.
If you get a few minutes, have a look at the Power onTap presentation
(it's about 18 minutes) at
http://www.fusiontap.com/docs/index.cfm?netaction=articlesarticle=200
and/or install the Blogs onTap sample application
(http://www.fusiontap.com/download - it requires all 4 of the
currently available modules -- framework core, plugin manager, members
onTap and the blog).
I'd be interested to know what you think. :)
