lol. Thanks =) My main goal here is to make OpenBD more familiar, and lower the learning curve required to get it installed and working. Never having to mess with the J2EE server in the past, I had to do a LOT of learning to do - even though WAR deployment is actually pretty easy once you've done it, it's still daunting for someone who knows nothing about how J2EE servers work.
Plus, for folks who are new to CFML or web development in general, this should make it easier for them to become active and productive members of the CFML community. Hopefully that's a goal we all share!
