>A good measure of a good CF developer is typically how much he/she contributes to the community as a whole.
I don't think you can say that. If you look at some of the big names in the community (or the most active people on this list even), they seem to spend all day posting on lists, updating their blog and doing community stuff, you wonder if they actually have a full-time job or just spend all day doing this. There are plenty of gurus out there that probably work their ass off all day and don't have time to do this sort of thing or are not allowed to, and when they get home they just want to relax and forget about work, thus why you have never heard of them. When I started out I used to spend a good portion of my day answering peoples questions on lists, in fact most of the time I managed to answer most questions before anyone else even got a chance to. But now a days I just don't have that much time on my hands.

Most of the noteable names of the CF industry assist others in troubleshooting, providing code samples to alleviate difficult topics and giving back to their user groups. Education and certification are not a good measure of CF proficiency as I have met many developers that did not have certifications that could teach CF with the amount of knowledge they have attained. Perception of proficiency based upon the praises of others is a good measure of non-biased opinions sometimes. There are many popular names that will make the list just from the fact that most CF'ers enjoy blogging or have written a blogging adaptation.
