I have just started working on something similar, which I plan to release as Open Source when I have finished. I plan that each page is generated in index.cfm (using?page=page_name), each page is then made up of a collection of dynamic content (stored in the dataabase) and static scripts. I also plan to have a good user structure which supports unlimited user levels and allows different pages to have different levels for viewing, editing and removing, also each content part of the page can have different view, edit and delete permissions. I have only just started coding it. My plan for the system is that I can have a re-usable structure that I (and others) can use to build a site on which has good CMS tools.
I haven't done any Cold Fusion in ages, and haven't done any CFMX yet. If someone could advise me of possible pit-falls, things to look out for, or really useful features (I haven't really used CF since the 4.5 days).
