ColdBox 3.0 Modules Contest

Create a ColdBox 3.0.0 module that is a fully functional application that can be portable for any ColdBox 3.0 application. Here are some guidelines the ColdBox team will be evaluating the module on

• Download ColdBox


• The code must reside on either github or a public repository so it is publicly accessible


• The user must create a forgebox entry and submit the module code to it: http://coldbox.org/forgebox


• The more internal libraries it uses the more points it gets: LogBox, MockBox, WireBox, CacheBox


• The module should do something productive, no say hello modules accepted


• Best practices on MVC separation of concerns


• Portability


• Documentation (You had that one coming!!) as it might need DB setup or DSN setup


• Be creative!


• Make sure it works!
