But it will be up to New Atlanta and the BlueDragon Open Source Steering Committee whether your suggestions will be accepted. Open source does not mean that everyone can just pile in and change the source. Sure, you could modify your *own* copy to add features - but that will just create lots of incompatible engines. Everyone will need to work with the process, like Sun's JCP and all the other successful open source projects out there. I'm very concerned that a lot of CFers really don't understand how open source projects work - I see the same thing around all the CF frameworks with folks just assuming that their changes should be incorporated (and getting upset when the project team refuse to incorporate them) or going off and creating their own incompatible version. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300965 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
