Alex,
You mention 'business kinks' in regards to automation. It would be
unfortunate for this project to loose that capability in the
framework due to business reasons. The automation library is fairly
old (in internet terms) and used by a lot of Flex customers and
testing tool/service providers (8-10 of them if not more). With
Monocle ramping up as a product it would be sad to see the Apache
Flex testing ecosystem being disseminated for it's commercial sake
when there is no real competitor to it (even with automation).
Is there a need to raise this issue collectively with decision
makers involved in the 'business kinks' to influence this decision?
Would it be possible to get a list here and then duplicated on the
wiki of what Adobe plans to donate and the status of it.
I'd like to know if the status is
complete (spark components etc)
legal (automation etc)
development (falcon etc)
idle (not sure if we have any idle, which is why this list would be
useful, but anything that Adobe plan to contribute, but there is no
active progress).
Including things like the status of Adobe having donated the name
'Flex' as well would be good to be included.
Would something like that be feasible (Alex, Carol?), and be useful
everyone else?
