Are You on the Right ColdFusion Mailing Lists?

I just wanted to shout out to anyone who isn't on a good variety of mailing lists, that you might want to give some of them a try, as many of the framework mailing lists cover way more topics than you might expect . . .

At various times, the ColdSpring, Mach-II and Model-Glue mailing lists have had some great discussions on generalized architecture. Recently the Model Glue list has been on a roll, but different months, it's different frameworks and they are all low enough volume that there's really no reason not to join them all and skim them to keep up to date.

I don't actually use any of those three frameworks, but I certainly learn a bunch from both the framework specific posts (details of how each framework solves problems in it's own unique way) and the general posts (often good architectural issues but things like Ant and other development best practices sometimes come up as well.

I'll also call out to the CFCDEV list which was always one of my favorites, had a dry spell but is now firmly back on a roll with some great postings and ideas.

What CF mailing lists do you follow?

Follow: CFBloggers Google Group

Semi-Follow: CFEclipse users, cf-talk, Model-Glue

Gosh there are others, but the fact that I can't think of them right now should tell you something...

Only issue I have is the noise on some of them. So many needless replies make it hard to get excited to read a thread...

Ugghh. Thanks Todd. Completely forgot CF Eclipse Users. That's also often a good one - especially when Jim Priest starts to share about his Ant setup . . . CF bloggers is good when it's active - if you are a CF blogger, and what is this thing called cf-talk? *winks*

What's the CFBloggers list? I searched Google Groups and only found reference to the cf-talk mirror. Please dish!

Hi Andy,

Sorry - I can't remember offhand, but when I get another email from it I'll let you know! Todd, can you remember?
