The site looks awesome and the idea is great! What a good way of putting
forth Coldfusion mixed in with the other stuff that people are going to come
looking for.

A few suggestions:

1) At the bottom of each page is a disclaimer, but in IE the disclaimer
pushes right against the browser chrome making it hard to read. I suggest
putting a break or two after that to give it at least one full return of
space.

2) Clicking the ColdFusion tag (and the other tabs I'm sure) displays a list
of projects with HUGE headers, you're using H2s. I suggest styling them to
appear smaller. They're way too large at the moment.

3) Most importantly, when I click the CF button, all of a sudden the page
has about an extra 3 inches of horizontal scrolling. Nothing's there, but
the page shows a scrollbar. It does it on the other tabs too even though
there's nothing there.

4) Tables? The site looks so good that the source code should look the same.
Do you need someone to help you convert this to a pure CSS design? I'd be
happy to volunteer.

5) You might also consider adding InDesign and Illustrator buttons as those
two are very popular as well.


Everything else is great. This is really exciting.

Subject: Announce: RIAForge


So - I've been dropping hints left and right over the past few weeks
about a "secret project" that I've been working on, and today I
finally get to announce it. Please say hello to RIAForge.org. What is
RIAForge?

RIAForge is a place to host open source projects built with Adobe
technologies - from ColdFusion applications to Photoshop plugins to
Flash ActionScript libraries.

What I really like about the site is that you can use it as much or as
little as you want. As an open source author, you can simply list your
project and point to the resources you already have. But what if you
don't already have a web site?

RIAForge offers:

A unique project url: http://cfyahoo.riaforge.org/
File hosting
Bug tracking
Forums
Blogging
Basic stats
Subversion access

You can pick and choose which, if any, services you need. The site is
still going under a bit of development, so you will definitely see a
rough edge or two. (Firefox users, see PS at bottom.) But check it out
- and if you have code to share, <b>PLEASE</b> post your project.

This site is Adobe supported and was the brainchild of Ben Forta. I
did the primary development work with a lot of help and support from
others, including Brian Rinaldi and Rob Gonda (SVN support is all from
Rob, and will be a hosted project shortly.)

p.s. Firefox users: You may see a "white screen" when saving edits to
your project. This is a known issue and is being worked on.
