So we finally have CF8.
We have been successful moving old Legacy Sites to CF8.

I have a strong desire to start (well . . . continue) sneaking good
code under the hood. I wondered what may be a good framework to use to
accomplish two things.

1. Begin implementing a cleaner architecture
2. Reside in amidst our legacy application (Kludged up and third party
dependent)
- this has been the challenge to implementing a framework in a sub
directory of the parent site

So for instance
at root
Application.cfm points to Kludged up 3rd party Application.cfm
This uses hundreds of client variables and an architecture that would
make most wince. (Every directory in the Third party application has
an application.cfm page that does the exact same thing all include the
Application page at the top level which includes the 'settings.cfm'
which is the site settings for the site which are not run as
application or client or session varibles but are included variables
without scope).

Things like navigation and logon functionality are reliant on this
(client variables and the Kludge architechture) and unfortunately we
can't include "Redesign Site navigation and login" into our
requirements. But we can put some extra time because a lot of
innovation is in the requirements of a new application.

The overall purpose of this is to create small applications (modules?)
that we can pickup and move without any much dependence on the older
environment (I especially want to get away from client variables).

Any ideas for a framework that can support this.

And as a followup any thoughts on accessing variables from another
site that has client variables and utilizing them in a site that
doesn't. . . (remote CFC probably will work . . . maybe)
