RIAForge.org has officially opened its doors as of yesterday and I must say Ray Camden has done a fine job! Its a very nice site. What is RIAForge you ask? Well, in a nutshell its a site for hosting opensource initiatives based on Adobe's technologies such as ColdFusion, Flash, Flex and the likes. There's even a Photoshop section!

RIAForge offers you an issue tracker, blog, forums, and subversion support right out of the box. Very nice. So nice in fact that I have set AntFarm up on RIAForge. You can find it at antfarm.riaforge.org.

I committed the first version of the source to subversion today. Its a working version but not all the features are implemented yet. Still alot of work to do by far.

No documentation yet either. This has been a rough week at work since I have put in about 70 hours so far and its only Thursday night!

I will try and get some of the documentation up with it and do some general cleanup on the code and create a zip of the 0.0.1 release this weekend.

I have beeen working on a little ColdFusion application at work that will allow us to quickly create builds of our applications and move them to the dev/staging server for us to prepare for testing by our QA team. I have to admit I put off learning Ant for a long time but now I am SO glad that I did.

I got started playing with Ant based on a suggestion from Sean Corfield. I was asking Sean if there were any ways to checkout a copy of the latest code from Subversion and copy it to our dev server without having to do it manually and he quickly pointed me to Ant.
