Probably not. I don'y know Mike all that well, but I think perhaps well enough to dicuss this (he'll correct me if I'm wrong). Mike is very lucky in that he gets paid to do something he loves. He's a big fat geek. (At heart, at least, in real life he's an clean-cut, athletic, outdoors lover that dates super model class women. So let's just say that Mike is REALLY lucky). Anyway - Mike's a geek. He's the kind of geek that stays up late at night learning that new thing or putting together a program to do that thing he could have finished by hand hours earlier. This new forms stuff was very much his baby. I'm assuming that he put in at least as much of his own time on the functionality as he did company time - he's that excited by the stuff. So now that the feature is out and all you people have your grubby little hands all over his brain-child he wants to see what you're doing with it. So he set up a site. It has nothing to do with Macromedia at all - it has everything to do with his excitement for the feature and its potential. He did the site, on his own, because this was his "thing" and he wanted to see it blossom. (I could be wrong in all of that, but I very much doubt it.) Essentially Macromedia doesn't need to "sponsor" sites like this because they're intelligent enough to hire (or keep in Mike's case) people that are so into this stuff that they'll do it for them. All Macromedia has to do is give their people a long enough leash and stay out of the way. By doing that they allow people like Mike, Ben, Sean, etc to effectively double their productivity for no money. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
