Thomas,
This is great feedback.. I'll get your issues into the Issue Db. I've put a few comments in to let you know where the issues stand.

* On JRun4, the CFID session variable which is used for the lock in overview_frame.cfm does not exist (I changed that to session.sessionID)
Bug.. Should be fixed.
* In a shared hosting environment, you do not always have full access to java classes and the like. Thus, the session tracking does not work as intended. (I'm currently at implementing Raymond Camden's solution he has published in sys-con's ColdFusion Developer magazine a while ago. If anybody is interested, I may post it here when I'm finished.)

* The same applies to the otherwise useful core image class which utilizes java functions that might not be available in a shared hosting environment. (Sorry, no fix for that yet.)
Looking to use the built in hava image manipulation classes to provide basic support and an interface for people to plug in their own solutions as needed.
* Furthermore, there is only one "farcry" virtual directory per box, and you may bet that at the time you are ready to launch your site it's already taken by someone else. I intend to write a short guide on what you need to change in order to be able to run FarCry in a shared hosting environment.
Not sure how we approach this. We need the CFMAPPING because we use CFIMPORT -- a compile time directive. There are several ISPs that actually offer very competitive FarCry Hosting now rather than having to wrestle with FarCry on a standard shared host.
* I, too, think that the Admin UI could need some clean-up. I'm not quite sure if it's a bug, but have you ever tried (as customers would do) to call the handpicked rule with an object that was deleted before?
Bug.. Should be fixed.
* I would also like to see some switch where you could throw away the audit and archive information and earlier versions of objects that are older than a specific, admin-entered date.
Yeah -- this is something we'd like to see as part of the overhauled Admin area. Typically you could write a dmCron template to do this for you.. but it's something that should be visible through the web interface.
* The DHTML for the categorization did not work for me in Mozilla, Safari, Camino, Firefox and IE/Mac. However, after initializing it on IE/Win (other browsers didn't work either), adding and selecting categories works.
I believe the cross browser Category support is much improved for 2.3 (perhaps even for 2.2). Anything that doesn't work in later versions Mozilla, Firefox, Safari or IE should be considered a bug.
