This has come up in many people's discussions over the past few days. It used to be true, it's not anymore [1]. For better or worse, the mailing list activity has died down incredibly. If you are using an email client that groups by thread, there are *very* few topics being discussed at the moment. I count a total of 34 threads being discussed in the last week. That's not to say that 34 conversations isn't a decent bunch, but it takes all of about 30 seconds to scan the headlines for an entire week of content and figure out if any of it is interesting to you. And then of course there's the flex-users list, which has never been used, as in not a single message [2]. I think getting flex-users going would be great, but let's be honest about the fact that this is the *only* active Apache Flex list/forum/whatever at the moment. Telling people to go post their topics in the echoing silence of the flex-users list, which for all intents and purposes isn't alive, seems a bit silly. So yes, by all means let's get the Flex uses list going, but in the meantime, given the declining traffic on this list, the stalled progress of the project as a whole, and the fact that nearly all the current discussion is focused on infrastructure/build stuff, does it really do so much harm to have a few extra conversations here?
