Github recognizes CFML

Github now tracks CFML syntax. Github uses Pygments, a generic syntax highlighter.  Pygment recently added support for CFML and Github has implemented it.

What does this mean to the ColdFusion community?

Github recognizing ColdFusion means more exposure. Currently ColdFusion is the 32nd most popular language on Github.  PHP is the 7th. I would love to see more of the ColdFusion community migrating open source projects to github. Snapshot from http://github.com/rip747/cfwheels

What is Git and Github?

"Git is a fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software.
GitHub is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate in that collaboration: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease." - text from http://github.com

What about Riaforge?

Riaforge should still be the centralized place to find and showcase open source project built on Adobe technology but the source code and issue tracker should reside on Github.  Similiar to projects using Google Code. CFGithub is an example of a Riaforge project using Github.
