Hi,

I have DataBindingTest working as well as it ever has (not pixel-perfect
yet, but getting closer), and I also tried Carlos’ suggestion and
installed the latest nightly build on Windows and was able to use Notepad
and the Command Prompt to cross-compile DataBindingTest without any
further setup.   So I think we really are on the runway for the next
release.  Here are some things I think we should consider doing before we
release, but I can probably be convinced to punt all of them to a future
release.  I’m just thinking it would be worth another week or two to add a
bit of polish (depending on what folks think we can drop, what new things
we add, and how many folks help out).

1) Tune FlexJSStore, ChartExample, DataGridExample, Mobile Trader - This
will help make sure the JS version will look like the AS version.  We’ve
made significant changes to the layout subsystem recently.

2) Fix the Function handling in JS so you get the same closure every time
[1].  Josh has worked around this in his example, but I think folks will
hit this a lot.

3) Move following examples to a new Test folder: ContainerTest,
FlexJSTest, ImageTest, ListsTest, LanguageTests, RollEventsTest,
VanillaSDK_POC

4) delete the following examples: StatesTest, StockQuote (these have been
incorporated into DataBindingTest)

5) rename DataBindingTest to DataBindingExample or FirstExample or
something like that

6) See if we can get DataBindingTest working with JQuery and CreateJS and
remove their FlexJSTest examples.

7) change version number to 0.3

8) HTML wrapper generator - I noticed when using just NotePad and Command
Prompt that no code generates the HTML wrapper for the SWF version.  There
are Ant tasks that do that, but can we require folks to have Ant?  I’m
thinking of adding an option to Falcon called -generate-html that controls
whether html wrappers are generated for both SWF and JS compilation.

9) JS swc examples - Did these get checked in somewhere?

10) Wiki doc - This can be done while the vote is underway, but the docs
could use an upgrade.

Thoughts?
-Alex
