ok, I know many of you have been wondering if I got hit by a bus... the answer is "kinda". I decided to make some changes in my personal life and they definitely affected my ability to contribute much at all to ColdSpring or the other O/S projects I'm involved with.
The good news is that things have become more stable for me, and I do believe that I can find the time to re-engage this project and get a solid 1.0 release out the door. So, first things first... a huge thanks to Chris and Kurt for carrying the ball that I so abruptly dropped. I'm extremely excited about all the CS content @ cf.objective(). It's cool to see a CFDJ article on ColdSpring (and if you haven't checked out the CS Petmarket app on cfpetmarket.com, please do). I'm especially happy to see factory-bean/factory-method support - while I haven't played with it yet, it was #1 on my list of enhancements that HAD to be tackled. Chris and Kurt have been working on some really cool remoting stuff that I believe will be "disclosed" soon (if it hasn't already) - we want ColdSpring to be a no-brainer choice when building flex 2.0 apps. I know many of you would like to see the current 0.5.0 release tagged 1.0 so they can use it in production (that's a really silly rule, but I understand that mgmt is often silly). So, my revised roadmap is this: There are 16 open tickets in our issue tracker (http://project.fmdrl.org/browse/CSP) Many of them are quick fixes and some may even be fixed/won't fix. Once those 16 tickets are closed and Q/A'd, and the framework is Q/A'd in existing production apps, we'll stick a fork in it and call it 1.0.Should be doable in the next 2-3 weeks. I'm going to Colorado on 3/4 (on a *real* vacation!) so I'd like to to have this out the door before then. Sound good? -Dave
