ColdFusion Developer Exchange

Is the developer exchange active anymore?  When I look at the "recent" additions tab, the dates that are returned are around 2008.

    The simple explanation is: Coldfusion is dead (just like Cobol is dead), even though you can find legacy code all over the net.

    The fact that Adobe has put it in a closet, tells you all you need to know about ColdFusion.

    It appears to be dead now.  The ColdFusion Exchange has been replaced with a collection of Add-ons for everything but ColdFusion.

    Here's an past view of it using Archive.org:

    What happened to all of the content?  I don't ever recall any official announcement.  Was there a tweet or blog entry that I missed?  There's no message on the new site indicating the obvious absence of ColdFusion.  (If you notice the ID in the above URL, ColdFusion is ID#1 and appears to have been the first product line added to the "Adobe Exchange".)

    Well... I think you answered your own question there ;-)

    I think stuff is probably on http://riaforge.org/index.cfm?event=page.category&id=1 these days.  Or maybe here: https://github.com/languages/ColdFusion.

    Unfortunately, Ray doesn't make it easy to monitize your application.

    Oh right.  I forgot about that side of things.

    However the fact that the Developers' Exchange has fallen by the wayside and the freebie community-focused ones have arised in its place... does speak to something.

    But, yeah, doesn't help you, does it?

    Sorry... dunno what else to suggest.
