The MXML spec is a Microsoft Word document. Can we put such documents in an Apache repo? If not, do we want the spec to live in the repo in some other format? Or in our wiki? Or on a non-wiki web page?

I have been asking for the MXMLG/FXG spec for a while now. So, if that is something that could be donated, it will be of a big help for the FlexJS project. Alex, my intention is to write an XSLT translator to make MXMLG/FXG and SVG to seamlessly work together. I have the beginnings of such an XSLT available here [1] and a basic example here[2] But if we have a programatic spec for FXG available, I can plug it in into a tool like Altova MapForce [3] to automatically generate an XSLT for FXG <-> SVG conversion. This would speed up things a lot and makes visual fidelity matching between Flash and HTML5 apps that much closer. Thanks, Om [1] https://github.com/apache/flex-asjs/blob/develop/fxg2svg/transform/transform.xslt [2] http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/fxg2svg/svg.html [3] http://www.altova.com/mapforce.html > - Gordon > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] > Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2013 12:00 AM > To: dev@flex.apache.org > Subject: Re: Donation News > > > > On 11/27/13 11:55 PM, "OmPrakash Muppirala" <bigosma...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >Alex, > > > >What a great news, right in time for Thanksgiving!
