After taking a break from posting on New Years Eve, here is issue 7 of my CFML Open Source Update. Covering two weeks worth of activity, from the 2012-12-24 to 2013-01-07. Couldn’t find too many new projects for the period, but there are a couple of new releases for existing projects worth looking into.
