Thank you for your feedback. Always good to get an community opinion with an outside perspective.

I'm pretty discouraged about any participation. Between the bickering, nobody noticed a frustrated subscriber demanding to be taken off the dev list. (spare one person helping him do so) So yeah, basically here is my first impression of being involved in flex. Quite a few people really dislike the release manager, people are terrified of the legal implications of mistakes (which makes me terrified to touch and use the source) and many of the leads here seem to double as adobe employees... which makes me feel that this is still very heavily controlled and owned by adobe for their own corporate interests. So there's my first impression. I'm not claiming these are facts, they're an impression. Just thought you guys would care for the insight into how your community is developing around this project and why at least 2 people are looking at running away from the mailing list today.
