ColdFusion & Github Weekly Update Sept 10, 2010

Published on September 10, 2010

Two weeks since the last ColdFusion & Github. I will start with what I missed. A Mango Blog plugin for gists was announced Aug. 16th. You may be wondering what the heck are GISTS?

Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable as a git repository.

ColdFusion on Github Highlights

Terry Ryan is keeping his releasing code on github streak going with CFConsole. Round of applause for Terry, now people start forking and help the guy out :-) DI/1 - Inject One was added to Github during CFUnited but sparked some conversation about Reinventing the Wheels vs Collaberating on existing projects. ColdBox Platform is on Github now. John Blandii has created a Cooking Wheels site and the source is on github. LitePost, a lightweight CFML-based blog application built in various ColdFusion frameworks, is on github. Currently, FW/1, Wheels, ColdMVC, MachII, and Model-Glue have examples. The MachII and Model-Glue examples need updated if anyone is interested in contributing.
