Staging is all aobut "device specific one-offs". the code is then in a common area where everyone can work to fix it up properly. I don't want to burry this work again in random git trees that no one has any clue how to put together, like has already been done in the past. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
