This is a question for you to answer. ColdBox supports the mode of being in debug mode or not. It does so, by placing a cookie on your browser so you can see the debugging panel only with that cookie set. The question is, how long should that cookie live? What should the expiration time be?

I think that a standard is arising on the way a method is injected with a request bus. My naming was requestContext and I believe mach-ii and fusebox use both event. I think it would be benefitial for developers for me to change this to event. What are your thoughts on this? This would help if a developer wants to switch from one framework to another or doing a transition, if some of the similar elements shared in an MVC framework can remain the same. I a...

What does this mean? Well, once an event is requested to the framework, let's say its "ehTools.dspTree". Then the framework will execute the dspTree method in the ehTools event handler. Now, you can declare two new methods in the ehTools event handler: 1) preHandler 2)postHandler Inside of those two new methods...
