I've actually quietly made some new Flex mailing lists; I've let it simmer while waiting for Flex 2 to become final. I don't think too granular of lists works well as there's too much overlap in a lot of things. But I do see one problem arising with one super list like this - not only are the spectrum of topics vast, now you got to content with two major versions of the language in use (1.5 and 2), and so you'll have to do a lot prefacing of context in every single message.

So... to alleviate that, I created the following:

Flex 2- General :: General discussion regarding anything Flex 2.
http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-General

Flex 2- Coldfusion :: Topics regarding Flex to CF integration
http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-CF

Flex Builder 2 :: Discussion regarding the IDE, debugging, design, etc....
http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-Builder

Flex Jobs :: Recruiters welcome!
http://groups.google.com/group/FlexJobs

I agree with you.  It might be beneficial to have a separate list for component/framework related threads.  It's probably cumbersome to weed through the development questions and answers some times.  I personally joined this list because I was led here by a link at Adobe and the list description was applicable to my Flex usage.

The flexcoders mailing list is for enterprise software developers, developing Rich Internet Applications using Macromedia Flex. The list will discuss methods and practices for Flex RIA development, including MXML and ActionScript 2.0, as well as best-practices including testing, design patterns, J2EE and .NET integration, etc.

However, imho this is a two-way street.  Application developers learn and benefit from component/framework threads.  And conversely, some component/framework developers appreciate the feedback from developers that are using Flex to create real enterprise solutions.  I am slowly but surely digging deeper into the Flex framework and its advanced concepts.  So for me, it's good to have both sides in the same place.

Just my thoughts,
Tim Hoff
