This Zen Garden is not limited to Graphic artists only. Not even strong CFML skills are necessary! The example files provide a good starting point such that even novices can contribute.
You may modify the data in any way you wish. Feel free to change the name of your favorite state, or even delete it! Each user has their own temporary table. This may seem to be over engineering at first, but we want to keep the data clean for everyone.
If you would like to participate, we can give you access to our server.
Why participate? For recognition, inspiration, and a resource we can all refer to when making the case for CFML-based design. This is sorely needed, even today. More and more major sites are taking the leap, but not enough have. One day this gallery will be a historical curiosity; that day is not today.
We would like to see as much CF8 as possible. CF9 will be encouraged as soon as HostMySite upgrades us. The CFM Zen Garden is about the latest bleeding-edge tags made available, whether it's practical or not. The only real requirement we have is that your code runs.
