Mike IS a Macromedia employee, so odds are these project is somehow sponsored or at least sanctioned by Mike's employer.
And yes, I agree with you that it's a good thing to see this type of project. That said, I still believe that it would be in everybody's best interest (especially Macromedia's, for obvious reasons) that the examples and site are a showcase for the <cfform> tag. So far, it isn't. In my opinion it's a little too unpolished; hopefully it will get better with time. I personally think Macromedia should pay far more attention to the "cosmetic" side of its technology. Macromedia-related sites that promote Macromedia products, like Ben Forta's site (notice I said "related", not sponsored, because I don't know the exact nature of the relationship) should be made to look as good as possible, even if it means Macromedia has to shell out a few grand in the process. As it is, they don't do a very good job of showcasing Macromedia's technology. But, then again, that's just my opinion... :-) > I certainly dont believe that the cfform.com project is sponsored by > macromedia.
