Leif, I hear you, missed the past meeting or two myself. I've been using these extensions daily for the past 10 months or so. The source is set up so that the compiled swc can be dropped into a current project without disruption, it has the current Cairngorm in it with all paths preserved. So, you can then start adding in use of the extensions.
The #1 extra I use the most and that we discussed last night is the callback support. A view can create a event, a UMEvent which extends CairngormEvent, add callback information to the event in the form of a Callback class which is just a responder and dispatch it. The extensions add a Command class that will call a notifyCallers() in the result and fault handlers, this method calls whatever Callback was passed in the event. Voila! Your view can now get easy notifications of command completions. Callbacks.result passes the ResultEvent, so your view gets the data direct. This bit alone is a major time saver to me.
