ColdFusion Open-Source Update - June 2, 2008

Two new releases and five updates this week. The big new release being CodexWiki which looks to be a very full-featured wiki application. Anyway, I have apparently been very successful at stirring up trouble in the CF community lately... I promise to stay out of trouble this week...or so...
