A CF-Partners list is being finished as we speak so that the community can
have a central location to post to MM. The list recognizes the community as
partners in the success of ColdFusion and by extension Macromedia. It should
help in getting public reaction to things rather than having to read 6 or
more different lists. (I assume you'll be reading them anyway).
Personally, I think that the change in policy is a major coup in the
relationship between the community and MM.
