Our plans to support component development are consolidate to 3 key areas.
1) In Flex 2 we include a developer guide on creating and extending components. We are also planning a whitepaper on component design theory.
2) We are building a simpler version of a component exchange based on the exchanges that already exist on Adobe.com today - our plan is to add more features over time to this, as we learn more about what the community wants.
It is not our intent to resell the components but we would provide hosting for trial version or free components and link out to your sites to purchase, or so that users can find out more, get updates, etc...
3) We are planning a component developer summit in June with tracks for both visual components and data/sytem level components. We will host the developers in San Francisco in person as well as online. The summit and the content that we provide there, and on the site after that, should help a lot with deeper requirements for understanding the framework and our roadmap.
Please let me know if you would be interested in attending this.
There are quite a few developers already building and planning to ship components and we are pretty jazzed by some of the early stuff we are seeing. If you have thoughts on how you think we should approach this or would like to contribute to or participate in our efforts, or would like us to help you with what you are planning, then please let me know!

Are we talking about a site that allows component creators to post their components, go through and approval process, then be added to a catalog, be compensated for purchase; maybe affiliate programs also?

I could definitely contribute to it.
Thanks

I've been working on a web application that is free to subscribe to
and use, that would allow people to post and comment on Flex Components.
The site is loosely modelled off SourceForge in functionality, and
will allow the following features:
Create a project
Add files (mark releases)
Add news / messages
Have many developers for one Project/ Component
Searchable listing
and more...
There are some basic details on my little blog:
http://graham.weldon.ath.cx/blog/?p=8
There will also be a Wiki for this appearing this week.
Is anyone interested in seeing this up? With support and suggestions,
I can put more effort in and get the basic site running sooner, rather
than later.
I know personally I would love a central database of flex
components that allows people to freely post components for download.
I am interested to see who would use this.
Let me know
Regards,
Graham Weldon
