Hi pk_wasp,
Thats not a bad idea at all, I see no real reason why we can't look
into this to see how feasible it is.
I'm adding this to the wiki ( http://graham.weldon.ath.cx/wiki ) as
soon as I finish replying here.
I think that purchased components would need a seperate process, for
the secure payment. I'm uncertain as to whether this step can be
integrated into the "plugin download" style wizard or not.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm certainly taking into consideration.
Regards,
Graham Weldon

able to access this component exchange through eclipse?
then just drag and drop the components we want to buy/use onto the
Flex Builder component palette :)

We will host the developers in San Francisco in person as well as
online. The summit and the content that we provide there, and on
the site after that, should help a lot with deeper requirements for
understanding the framework and our roadmap.
