Not today, but I might start the process soon. There are a number of things that is difficult for Apache to do as a non-profit source-code distributor.
First I have to find a suitable URL (most of the good ones are taken), then get approval from Apache Trademarks, then get approval from Adobe Legal. The Adobe part can be done, I have approval from Adobe Legal to help a friend with his Flex-based startup. It might be a bit trickier as I'd be doing a wider range of stuff, but so far, nobody internally has said "no way". -Alex On 9/4/13 9:49 AM, "Frédéric THOMAS" <webdoubl...@hotmail.com> wrote: >Good idea, you've got enough kudos to make it but it is not for a today >solution to our problems or it might ? > >-----Message d'origine----- >De : Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] >Envoyé : mercredi 4 septembre 2013 18:46 >À : dev@flex.apache.org >Objet : Re: [Intaller] Speed up download > >Yep.
