Interesting to see how we've gotten away from our roots a bit given the push for supporting everything in script. This is of course a double-edged sword as we're seeing in this discussion. I personally like the notion of offering designer/UI people an easy in to build dynamic web sites, but the flip side is the "toy language" opinion held by some who don't use CFML. Not sure I have any answers at this point, but definitely looking forward to ruminating over all of this at OpenCF Summit and beyond. :-) -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- tag/function ref: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en Get to Texas in Feb for OpenCFSummit http://www.opencfsummit.org/
