Wrong. It's Mike's site, he worked on it, and he arranged the hosting. It is not a Macromedia site, just like my sites are not. Sure, my site needs work, heck I am still running code I wrote for CF2 which I am still meaning to redo, but some of us have real jobs to do, and personal projects are a lower priority. And no, I'd not want Macromedia (or anyone else for that matter) getting involved in what my sites are and do or how they do it. I keep my sites separate because they are my sites, and I am thus free to use them as I see fit.
As for the content on cfform.com being "clumsily put together", most are volunteered by developers just like yourself, developers who also (I assume) have real jobs. If you want better examples, just write them. Mike will be more than happy to post them for you. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Irvin Gomez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 5:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: New CFFORM website 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.
