We plan to run Spectra on CFMX, either via MM promised Spectra for MX or by hacking into CFC ourselves, we have too much investment to sack it off altogether, and I rather like Spectra: its faults are due to its grand ambition

We are going to do option 1. We'll rely on spectrasource updates and our own in-house ColdFusion developers, as it is only a big CF app anyway. Once you get past the learning curve, modifying/maintaining cfa tags is no big deal. In fact, we're aggressively pursuing additional Spectra projects within the company. S "Tom Briscoe" <TDB@compassb To: Spectra-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nk.com> cc: Subject: Keeping Spectra? 06/18/2002 10:47 AM Please respond to spectra-talk Hello all. At my company, we're giving thought to budgets for 2003. As you may recall, Macromedia's support for Spectra is set to cease at the end of that year. So I'm having to consider our future plans and just what to do with Spectra in and beyond 2003. I see a few immediate options: 1) Keep Spectra - Rely on the community, consultants and my own resources to continue to build and support applications and hope it is sustainable 2) Replace Spectra - Invest in another "content management" product like PaperThin's CommonSpot and hope it remains viable on the long term 3) Recreate Spectra - Dump all these packages and their price tags in favor of home-grown code I'm looking to start some discussion on this subject. But if you don't mind sharing, please share the list what you, your company or your clients (names not needed) are planning to do in regard to Spectra. Or just chip in your two cents on the best course of action. Anything will do. Thanks!
