The only thing I can think of right off the top of my head that would be good for HOF would be the possibility of lists that have to do with J2EE and XML and it's integration into CFMX. Also maybe a CFMX/Flash area for those wishing to get into it. Otherwise, I think HOF is fine as is.

The fact that we have a CF Guru (if I may say so myself) as well as a professional editor on staff should be points in our favor. Either way, we're a portal to the CF world. We've always been one and always will be one. If some don't think of us as a portal, then it's all good for them.
