Yup, that's definitely true, but
don't bet the farm on getting money out of it directly.

Agreed. It's pretty difficult to compete with free. That
said, leading an open source project can be a good career move, so maybe
someone in the CF community will come up with one.
I'm not totally convinced that there would be significant uptake
for a CF wiki.
I was looking for one a few weeks ago and ended up
going with mediaWiki too. I'm no PHP guru, but it only took about an hour to
get everything set up including installing PHP and getting the database
setup.
With that knowledge it would be very hard for me to justify
paying for one and I'm sure I'm not alone.
I'm sure some people would
buy it, but I doubt if you'd get back the money you spent developing
it.

I
think there's a business opportunity to create a CF based Wiki; I've had
to integrate a PHP one because there aren't any good CF based ones out
there.
But I just want to comment that for MACR to make one; the
decision would be to divert resources. Frankly I'd rather see MACR
focusing on their core products, as opposed to pulling CF guys off of CF8
to make a CF based wiki which would be totally sunk cost unless they plan
to sell it as a product. Financially it wouldn't make
sense.

I recognized it as MediaWiki, and I understand PHP is a great tool, I
use it myself when the project calls for it. I have nothing against
Macromedia using PHP if it is the right tool for the job. However,
as the "15th Billionth" person to comment on this, I find the
impression that it gives in this case an unsettling one.
How would you feel if Microsoft hosted their web pages on Linux/Apache
instead of Windows/IIS? Or developed Office in Delphi? It just
wouldn't give a great impression of their confidence in their own product.
Who, if not Macromedia, has the most knowledgable people of
ColdFusion? Who, if not Macromedia, should be running a ColdFusion
based Wiki, to not only showcase their product, but to show their
confidence in its use in an enterprise environment.
With a simple Google search today I found a ColdFusion wiki, and I've
downloaded a few others previously.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Yes. It is using MediWiki, which powers wikipedia.
