Open-Source Project List Relaunched
Posted on Feb 20, 2006
The original ColdFusion Open-Source Project List got alot of attention and continues to get alot of traffic. However, there were problems with it: 1) it was a pain to maintain (especially since - this is the good news - I seem to be adding new projects on a regular basis) 2) the URL was clunky.
Because of this, I built a new version that runs on Reactor (I documented the development here). This version is essentially the same as the old, but has a cleaner URL. It also adds license information (where I could reasonably determine that) and categories. Determining categories proved to be a bit of a pain, and I am open to any better suggestions.
This isn't a finished application yet. Some of the things I would like to see added first are: 1) A seperate RSS feed just for the list that will show newly added projects 2) the ability to keyword search the list. Any other suggestions?
In case you missed the URL above it is http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist. You can also access it via the "cf open source list" item in my site navigation.
As a side note, I will no longer be maintaining the older list, so please update your bookmarks.
