Hello everyone. A couple weeks ago we started work on a community project called FreeAgent, that allows MVC applications to be designed in such a way that they can be installed directly into any of the popular MVC frameworks for ColdFusion. We selected six frameworks to support initially and have just committed the last initial draft of these samples to our version control.
These six frameworks are: ColdBox Framework-One (FW/1) Fusebox Mach-II Model-Glue onTap CF on Wheels If you work with ColdBox, Fusebox or FW/1 currently, then coding in FreeAgent should be a walk in the park, since the design and implementation of FreeAgent is very similar to these frameworks. These are all in the SVN repository, so if you haven't seen it yet or had a chance to try out the sample applications, they're all ready. The onTap framework sample is the only one that hasn't been tested - that's my primary framework and I expect it to be one of the easiest to integrate, so I haven't focused much attention on it yet. We'll start on some documentation shortly. And then we'll need to start working on security layers and testing the securityFacade. We're also looking for a good open-source application to be a forerunner for FreeAgent in the ColdFusion community. A while ago I had ported Ray Camden's Galleon Forums to 4-5 frameworks and a lot of folks seemed rather interested in that project. So since this is something of an evolution of that work, I thought maybe Galleon would be a good first project to port to FreeAgent to generate interest and help us improve collaboration within the ColdFusion community. So I asked Ray and although he has no problems with me porting it, he's not convinced he'd be interested in the FreeAgent port becoming the official release version of Galleon. My concern is that if it doesn't become the official release version, the effect of the FreeAgent fork may be seen as fragmenting the community, rather than helping to bring the community together. So we're looking for an existing project in the CF open source community that would be interested in having their official release version built to install into any of these 6 frameworks. Any suggestions are appreciated. :) Sign up for our google group at http://groups.google.com/group/free-agent -- s. isaac dealey :: AutLabs Creating meaningful employment for people with Autism http://www.autlabs.com ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
