ColdFusion 8 Flavored Dog Food

Adobe.com is now running on ColdFusion 8, and Rahul Narula notes that the conversion from CFMX7 was seamless, just the way we like it. Good to see adherence to the eats its own dog food rule, and even better to see a clean and seamless transition.

    Ben,
    Any idea of how many Adobe developers did the conversion? Was it one developer who took a month, or was it a team of 10 that knocked it out in 3-4 days?

    @Sana: yeah the MXNA folks didn’t have cycles to install and restart the server even, so that one Macromedia.com machine will stay CF7 for a while I expect.
