Given the volume of messages here and given the fact that Flex 2 gives us this great publish-subscribe capability out of the box, I would think some clever person here would be able to setup a topic-based publish-subscribe messaging service for this group.
Here is how it could work (this is just a starting point for discussion if anyone is interested ...):
1. Amend the flexcoders FAQ to provide a format for the topic and sub-topic of each message. For example:
F2B2 would be one topic
F2B2.Components would be a sub-topic
F2B2.Networking would be yet another sub-topic
And we can even have sub sub topics, to get more specific, for those of us who want to have the least possible message traffic.
2. Setup a server based on FDS that grabs the latest messages via RSS (http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups/flexcoders/rss) and then publishes each message to the subscribers (i.e. the readers of this group who have installed the flexcoders pub-sub client described in the next bullet) using the in-subject topic (or sub topic) to route the message to those who have subscribed to that topic/sub-topic.
3. Create a client in Flex 2 that allows the user to subscribe to topics/sub-topics such that the user will receive the matching messages inside the client. By clicking on any given message the user will be taken to that message on the cirresponding flexcoders Yahoo groups URL, e.g. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/32309, where they will be able to respond to it.
This would be a great project for someone who's looking for a project/idea to do with Flex while learning Flex 2 or even for someone who already has significant experience with Flex 2 and wants to help everyone manage the traffic on this list in more effective way ...
