Bertrand, Brent and others, IMO, based on my experience with many Apache projects, it would be much better if this could happen *within* Apache Flex, as opposed to potentially creating a split community. -Bertrand I fully agree with Bertrand, especially in the early stages of a project.

Hi Bertrand, So IIUC you think that a) The layout of http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ should be improved? I don't know how the process works exactly, but how long would the project be at the incubator page? If it's any significant amount of time, then yes it should be improved. b) To be

That's a good point regarding whether we need a new website. I wasn't sure what features are available to the community for adding wiki's, etc. to the existing apache.org website. I would consider my site valuable to the community for things like sharing tutorials, listing discussions that are
