Looking for a Forerunner

[ike]

Hello everyone.

We've just committed the last of the sample applications for our
initial list of 6 frameworks we wanted to support:

ColdBox
Fusebox
Mach-II
Model-Glue
onTap
CF on Wheels

These are all in the SVN repository, so if you haven't had a chance to
try out the sample applications yet, now they're all ready for you.
The onTap framework sample is the only one that hasn't been tested -
that's my primary framework and I expect it to be one of the easiest
to integrate, so I haven't focused much attention on it yet.

We'll start on some documentation shortly. And then we'll need to
start working on security layers and testing the securityFacade.

We're also looking for a good open-source application to be a
forerunner for FreeAgent in the ColdFusion community. A while ago I
had ported Ray Camden's Galleon Forums to 4-5 frameworks and a lot of
folks seemed rather interested in that project. So since this is
something of an evolution of that work, I thought maybe Galleon would
be a good first project to port to FreeAgent to generate interest and
help us improve collaboration within the ColdFusion community. So I
asked Ray and although he has no problems with me porting it, he's not
convinced he'd be interested in the FreeAgent port becoming the
official release version of Galleon. My concern is that if it doesn't
become the official release version, the effect of the FreeAgent fork
may be seen as fragmenting the community, rather than helping to bring
the community together. So we're looking for an existing project in
the CF open source community that would be interested in having their
official release version built to install into any of these 6
frameworks.

Any suggestions are appreciated. :)

Woops! I left out FW/1

We have a CMS that we are in the process of moving to Open Source. We
have been using it in-house for some while now and thought it would be
a good move to share it with the community to help along the
resurgence in CFML that is taking place.

I am going to see how we can drop it into FreeAgent, if we can then I
am happy to share.

No promises, our CMS is an evolved product all the way back to CF5,
certainly not MVC architecture even though it is stuffed with CFCs these
days. I intend to do another burst of work over the summer break
(talking from Down Under) so if I can migrate it first I think that
would be useful.

I'm reading the PDF over an iced coffee on a hot day, its a bit of a
brain-strain first off, I'll let it sink in :-)
