Hi Dave, Yeah, change away :-). Your work is fantastic - it must be it has great backing!
Mostly is was frustration about not finding what I wanted/needed to know. In fact what you just posted could be on the site and go a long way to help! I think the fact I had to jump from one site to another to find out other peoples views was extremely annoying. And yes, docs, or lack of online, was certainly in this mix! Thanks, do the great informative post - I will soldier on!

Neil, Thanks for the excellent feedback. We'll make those improvements ASAP! Seriously, what exactly is "piss-poor" about our website? Are you unable to find what you are looking for? Are you specifically referring to the docs? > >What if, anything does it give me? What does it do which a good solid design >doesn't? I cannot find any solid examples which explain it all. > It gives you a way to implement your good solid design without introducing unneccessary coupling between your components. It doesn't generate your application model or really force anything upon you, but I would say it "suggests" that you to write better code because it makes you think of your CFCs as logical working entities that collaborate with other. Using ColdSpring will remove all the "create and configure" code from your system (because collaborating components are injected into one-another "ready to use"). ColdSpring then builds upon this foundation with a framework for aspect-oriented programming, extensions for remoting, and good integration with existing MVC front-end frameworks like Model-Glue and Mach-ii. Of course, as you mentioned, MG2 incorporates ColdSpring, and the inner-workings of the framework itself are actually wired together using ColdSpring (but that doesn't really matter to an end-user).
