Hi Dustin 1. will advice be based on a user's questions (what you wrote) or their answers to questions (what I think you meant)? 2. LISP is a whole lot of fun and definitely recommended as part of a uni or TAFE course, but unnecessary for your project 3. Limiting the number of components (ie languages) in your project is a good goal - my opinion.
If you have picked CFML, stick with it. A simple DSS or expert system can be modelled using a database structure.
