Maybe there's some reason why every one who works at Ferrari does not drive one to work! :-) 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. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play? Video games influencing politics.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Macromedia Labs site
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. charlespaz1 wrote: I recognized it as MediaWiki, and I understand PHP is a great tool, I use it myself when the project calls for it.

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.
