Content Management Systems : I have been working in this area for years, beginning with my first system, coded in perl, for the City of Austin, Texas website. I really think we should design systems that the user does not have to know html markup to communicate effectively, that are also easy to manage in an enterprise setting.

Groking MVC patterns
I am looking at refactoring a Content Management System I developed two years ago, and guess what? There's alot I want to change. So, I am learning alot about recent changes in Cold Fusion, our application server and Fusebox, which is the methodology we used on this project. I am very interested in MVC patterns and am trying to learn how they work with Fusebox. Here are some links to very useful sites:

Fusebox.org - A great resource that provides order to potential spagetti code.
Techspedition.com - Their fuseQ approach is really neat - I am using their core file instead of the standard fusebox core.
Benorama Cold Fusion Best Practices - This guy, while not a fuseboxer, has some nice explanations of MVC and sample code.
Brian Kotek's CF page - Nice FuseQ Example App that has an MVC approach
My notes from seaching newsgroups - Bit and pieces I picked up
