ColdFusion Open Source Update - May 27, 2010

One new and one updated project this week in ColdFusion open-source but also a number of plugins for a continually growing open source ecosystem in ColdFusion. In other news, it sounds like NCDevCon was a success and I congratulate the team who put the event on, including Dan Wilson, Jim Priest and many others. Hopefully I will get to make it next year.
