Taking Over CFStatic?

[Ryan Mueller]

Dominic Watson has offered us CFStatic as he's no longer using the tool daily and no longer has time to keep it up actively.

Are there users among us who'd like to see this project continue? If we've enough interest, even one or two folks is enough, then Randy, Denny or I can help you facilitate the move.

------------------------------------------------------------

CFStatic is a framework for the inclusion and packaging of CSS and JavaScript files for CFML applications.

CFStatic takes care of:

• Minifying your CSS and JavaScript
• Compiling your CoffeeScript and LESS CSS
• Including your CSS and JavaScript in the correct order, with all dependencies satisfied
• Adding sensible cachebusters to CSS image paths and CSS and JavaScript includes

Key features:

• Minifies your files for you using YuiCompressor
• Compiles your LESS CSS for you
• Compiles your CoffeeScript for you
• Dependency configuration through self documentation
• Easy, zero-code, switching between inclusion of raw source files and minified files
• Small API, only 4 public methods (including the constructor)
• Built for production; no need for CSS and JavaScript file packaging in your build scripts, code can be put in production
• Minified files are saved to disk, CF is not involved in serving the files

IIRC doesn't Mura use it heavily? I'd say they should take it over IMHO

Else it seems that CFTA is just a dumping ground for projects no-one wants and the more the team takes on the thiner the resources.

Just my 2 pence

[Ryan Mueller]

Definitely should not acquire to park.

[Dean Lawrence]

Ryan, if the Mura group aren't interested in managing it, I know that I would be willing to help work on it.

really would love to see this being continued

[Ryan Mueller]

I've asked Dom to check with the Mura folks to see if they'd like to take over support since it's integrated into their CMS.

If they don't, we can offer to take it on.

[Malcolm O'Keeffe]

At this point in time, we (Blue River/Mura CMS) can't take over ownership of the project. It's really a cool project, but we don't have the resources to run it. 

In fact, we're deprecating CFStatic in Mura - it's been great, but there are a lot of other options that have become standard approaches. 

Malcolm

[Ryan Mueller]

Thanks for the reply Malcolm.

Dean and/or Thomas, if you're serious about bringing CfStatic into the fold and guiding development, please let us know this week so we can work out the details with Dom.

Ryan 

[Dean Lawrence]

Ryan, yes, I would definitely be interested in working on this.

Great Dean!

I've messaged Dom to send us his email or join the conversation thread here.

Basicly, we need him to update CfStatic to use the MIT license so we can fork it without needing legal paperwork.

Once that's done, I'll fork it and get you added to the repo as a core contributor.

Ryan

[Dominic Watson]

That's awesome guys. Sounds like it's in good hands. Should I just copy the license from here: http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT, substituing Year with 2015 and <name> with my name? Will that work for you?

If it helps, I can then just transfer ownership of the project to your GitHub account... (or let me know what else I can do).

Of course, I can be contacted re implementation oddities, etc. too.

Dominic

[Ryan Mueller]

Awesome Dominic,

According to GitHub you'll need admin permissions in TeamCFAdvance org to do the transfer.

I've sent you an invite to an admin group. Please accept and attempt the transfer. Let me know how it works.

Ryan

[Dominic Watson]

Transfer successful :)

I'll create a blog post confirming the move and providing some link back.

Thanks again guys - feels like the best result here :)

Dominic

[Ryan Mueller]

Thanks Dominic,

We're honored to have the project.

Dean,

What's your GitHub username? I'll add you as a Core Contributor.

Ryan

[Dean Lawrence]

Thanks Dean, added.

Dominic, I've asked Raymond about how to move CfStatic to our account on RIAForge so we can push updates there as well.

Ryan

[Ryan Mueller]

Raymond has finished the project move on RIAForge for us. I've updated the description and links.

http://cfstatic.riaforge.org/

Thanks everyone involved, was an awesomely easy project move.

Ryan
