ColdFusion Open-Source Update - July 23
Posted on Jul 23, 2007
Six new projects and two updates this week. More importantly, I am considering (at the insistence of Paul Hastings) adding a new category to the OS list covering a hot category in open-source (actually make that cool), open-source beer. Now, someone just needs to get me an ice-Cold(Fusion) open-source beer so that I can better evaluate its worthiness for addition to the list!
