For several years now, the CFCDev mailing list has provided a forum for the discussion of ColdFusion Components and other OO topics. During that time, Ray and I have had our ups and downs with various listserv packages, virus scanners, and spam filters. With the recent move of CFLib, CFCZone, and the ColdFusionCookbook to new servers, it's time for us to shut down the old box. Rather than go through the process of setting up an entire new listserv on the new machine, with all the associated issues, we've decided to migrate the CFCDev list over to Google Groups.

Several other popular ColdFusion lists are currently hosted on Google Groups, and the reaction has generally been positive. Although there is an automatic way to migrate your current CFCDev subscription over to Google Groups, I don't want to start switching people without their consent. So, to make the migration as painless as possible, we will be sending invites to everyone currently subscribed to the CFCDev list, inviting them to make the switch. Although the CFCDev traffic has lightened over the past year, there's still a lot of valuable discussion that takes place on the list, and the signal to noise ratio can't be beat.

To all of you whom have made the list a great meeting place over the years, we say "thanks", and hope that you'll continue to support the list at it's new home. The new list is already up and running - it's just waiting for subscribers and posts. I'll be putting together the invitation email shortly, but if you want to go ahead and sign-up on your own, the new list is located here:

http://groups.google.com/group/cfcdev

The email address for the group is: cfcdev@googlegroups.com (note you must be subscribed to post, but not to read)

UPDATE: an archive of old postings pre-Google Groups can be found here:
