Four quick thoughts: First Steven Neiland started a group to discuss just this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/cfml-apps
Second I think the key thing is for everyone to do what all the other communities are doing: get everything on github. third, I also have been working on and off on an app of my own, a platform for liquid democracy for small communities like condos, PTA's, etc. But it's been kind of hung up for over a year on the core "tally" routine, which is by far some of the most complex cfscript I've ever written. So if anyone out there is really good with cfscript and really enjoys a good puzzle, I would love help thinking through it. I've got three sketches of how it might work, but it's really testing my mental capacity to follow everything that's happening. I think I need a mathematician. fourth, ditto everything Matt says, with emphasis on how awesome Mura is.
