Nitobi (http://www.nitobi.com) has announced it will support the Coldfusion platform in its suite of enterprise Ajax components.

The Coldfusion edition of Nitobi Grid and Combobox released Monday offers support to newer (MX 6 and 7) as well as older versions of Coldfusion. The implementation enables a simple backwards-compatible CFINCLUDE style XML API for reading and writing the Nitobi compressed XML schema for Ajax transport.

Nitobi will be releasing a CFC version of their Coldfusion library, and Dreamweaver support for it"s Ajax components towards the end of the year.

The Nitobi Ajax Grid is an  cross-browser datagrid, supporting in-place editing, resizable and sortable columns, and copy-and-paste interoperability with MS Excel.

The Nitobi Ajax ComboBox is a high-performance autocompletion and live-searching component that performs remote retrieval of database data and provides suggestions as the users types. ComboBox V3 supports a number of distinct search modes including fuzzy-searching, list building, and static databinding.

Ben Forta, Ray Camden, myself, and others have been working on a secret project for the past few months. Well, it is secret no more ... Welcome to RIAForge.

RIAForge is a place to host open source projects built with Adobe technologies - from ColdFusion applications to Photoshop plug-ins to Flex components and more. And of course the site is built using those same technologies.

RIAForge features:

• A unique project URL
  
• File hosting
• Bug tracking
• Forums
• Blogging
• Basic stats
• Subversion access
• ... and more

This is not an official Adobe project, although the site is Adobe supported. Ray Camden did the primary development work with a lot of help and support from others, including Brian Rinaldi and myself. Most of the project was written in Model-Glue, and Ray added portions of his existing projects like Lighthouse, Galleon, and blogCFC.
I wrote the SVN support and I'll post it tonight as an open source project.

Let us know what you think!
