I have been working on my Colony platform on and off for some time
now. It isn't so much a CMS as an application platform intended to
solve many of the real-world business software problems I have
encountered over the years. I am finishing up an e-commerce site based
on the platform this week, and I have an upcoming project that will
heavily leverage the platform. It still needs a lot of work to get it
where I want it to go, but it has many capabilities today, although it
is still woefully short on documentation and tutorials, etc. As the
upcoming project gets funded, I hope to be able to put significant
resources into development of the next iteration, including
documentation, etc.

Unfortunately, because of my divorce, lots of things have been up in
the air for the last year, including work on the platform. The Colony
site isn't even up right now, I hope to correct that situation in the
next month after I move to Santa Cruz.

Colony runs just fine on Railo as far as I have seen. I never got it
working on OpenBD, I hit too many hard errors on tags that were not
properly implemented and I gave up. I still prefer using ColdFusion by
miles and miles, but it's great to have Railo as an open source
alternative for situations where CF licensing costs are seen as a
deal-breaker. Colony is released under the Apache license 2.0, with a
special license exception for the simple CMS page editor implemented
in ExtJS.
