Your docs certainly have improved since the last time I looked (a coupla years ago).
As to why I think it would be good... well I kinda sit outside all three of the CFML sub-communities (ie: CF, Railo, OpenBD), and I really don't see that the compartmentalisation as being a good thing: it divides what is already a small and fractured community-base. At the end of the day we all use CFML, and I think most people don't give a rat's arse which flavour (that said, I imagine *most* people who use CFML don't even know of Railo or OpenBD's existence, so probably don't know there's alternatives). I do need to do a small amount of work on all three platforms, and it's a right PitA to have to deal with the idiosyncrasies that all three have, so having a unified place to look would be handy. I guess it comes down to demographics: do most users use one or another of the platforms, or do most users use two or more simultaneously, or what. I can't actually answer that. I would have thought most people would use a mix? If people tend to use one platform and only one platform (whichever that is), then there *would* be less point in having unified docs. That said, having all the doc effort going into one place would mean the end result would be better than the sum of the parts. Which would be a good thing for all three communities. That's kinda where I was coming from. Anyway, if you don't see the point: fair enough. -- Adam On Friday, September 14, 2012 1:09:26 PM UTC+1, Alan Williamson wrote: > > It is a noble effort for sure, and i wish you all the luck with it.
