That's why I'm curious about how hard a migration from Spectra to FarCry
would be. It would seem to me that a migration would be cheaper and make
more sense than a rewrite of Spectra.
Part of our decision with my employer is a political one. Others in our
system have been trying to force an Interwoven agenda for several years
and only grudgingly accepted Spectra because it went OS and it is CF
based. It will be a tough road for me to try to get them to accept FarCry
after the previous battles. If the migration is relatively easy that would
help.

Well,
Coming from the camp who has used and both (currently using FarCry). I
strongly suggest that you look into FarCry first as really I think it
covers
what Spectra does and more - the problem we have with Spectra is that it
nearly 2 years since anything features were added to it - as was pointed
out
- it was written for 4.5.x that is whopping 4 versions of CF behind CFMX 7
(I am counting updaters).
Its a lot of work and it would be competing with FarCry.

You're right about it being a ton of work. That begs a question. If
FarCry
has pretty much everything functionally that Spectra did and is somewhat
structurally similar would it be a better idea to write some good
migration utilities and migrate to FarCry. Or is it smarter to rewrite
Spectra (I like Tardis)? Removing the Verity dependency means adding
tables and migrating data to them. This would have to be done for any
legacy sites. What do you guys think?

Well as a former member of TMM Spectra I would be up for it. Though I
would
suggest a name change from Spectra as that name will do it no favours.
How about Tardis one of it's
Beta names!
It will have to have a lot of work done on it to be user ready, for one
I
would remove the need for Verity.
Let me know off list or wherever if you want input.
