I can only speak for cflib.org. First, cflib.org is not run by Mindtool. Mindtool graciously allows us to use their server, so we acknowledge that. Plus, the owner of the company made the design for us. (Neither Rob or I can design anything. ;) As for checking - yes, we do check _every_ udf. Rob and I are _very_ anal about what gets released at that site. That's why it takes so freaking long sometimes for stuff to get out. I'm sorry about that, but, I refuse to release anything without first checking it. The Developers Exchange at Macromedia is different. I'm not saying our DevEx is bad - I'm just saying it's different. The idea at DevEx is to just serve a storing house for any number of custom tags or other resources. Cflib has a slightly different purpose. Yes, we want to share code, but at the same time, Rob and I do quality checking and organizing. I think this leads to code that is of slightly higher quality than the Devex. This means we have rejected UDFs in the past that... while they work, did not seem appropriate. Another way in which the Devex differs is that it will host commercial code. We only host free code. Bare in mind - both Rob and I make mistakes, so I'm not saying every UDF released at cflib.org is perfect. Plus, I know that some UDF authors in the past have disagreed with our decisions. When that happens, we try to reach a consensus, and if we don't, we simply ask the author to post their UDF to the Devex. Does that help? I'd be more than happy to discuss this with anyone. CFLib is approaching its one year anniversary, and one of the things we have planned is a survey to see what people think about the project in general. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
