Greetings from Open Source Land!

My name is Todd Rafferty and I have agreed to step up as Volunteer Community Manager for getrailo.org. I have been doing CFML for about 10 years now and my passion for creating applications hasn't faded since I started. If anything, another year brings on bigger and better challenges. This year brought me Railo as well as other exciting news that is shaking out of the CF Community.

Why volunteer to be a Community Manager?
I recently commented (read: complained) to Sean Corfield when he had just joined Railo that Railo's lack of documentation and pulling things together in one cohesive spot is really hurting. He brought the feedback to Railo team and he also put the ball in my court, "Are you volunteering?" I thought about it for a week before I finally agreed to. Railo is one of those projects I'd like to see succeed as I believe there's enough room for everyone. Railo is another very interesting tool in my vast web development toolbox.

If you don't already know, there's a very active community growing on the Railo Google Groups ( http://groups.google.com/group/railo ) and documentation is also being looked at ( http://groups.google.com/group/railodocumentation ). I've already been pulling together a new FAQ section on getrailo.org and it's going to keep growing as we go along!
