Open Source Winner of Wii!

Thank you to everyone who entered in the Open Source Code Off.

The winner of a Nintendo Wii is Barney Boisvert "Management Tool"
A simple schema management tool. You write your database mods into migration scripts (CFCs), and then the tool manages application of the scripts on an as-needed basis in all environments the application is deployed to. Very handy if you have a laptop, an office workstation, a home machine, and a production server and don't want to spend your life keeping the databases backing each one in sync with the others.

ziggy's Gravatar How in the world could Coldbox not win??? Was it disqualified for some reason, like it is too amazingly comprehensive and good?

Sean Corfield's Gravatar A reminder of the contest rules: "But, not just anything for free; find something that currently costs money, duplicate the described functionality, then publish your open source version for free."

If ColdBox had been eligible, so would Model-Glue, Fusebox, Mach II etc.
