Hello all,

The Flex Frame Workers ...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexframeworkers/

To those who replied to this email and others that might have found it interesting, I bit the bullet.

Since flexcoders is on yahoogroups, I figured that it was just as easy to do it here also.

There is a new group for component and framework questions that will be lead by me(Michael Schmalle, TeotiGraphix) and others in the future.

Anybody that seriously wants to 'dive' into the framework, this is the place to do it. There are a ton of questions I wouldn't ask on flexcoders but, on flexframeworkers, will be asked and answered.

Take a  look at my bolg and you will see why it probably is a good idea to sign up for this list, even if you are not sure 'yet' if you are a flex framewroker ;-)

Anyway, Mike will be on this list and this is what I do for a living, lets help each other and turn this into another thriving ecosystem for Flex2 proliferation!

Peace, Mike

In the Flash world there is:

FlashCoders - questions related to coding in flash - usually you've looked everywhere else first
FlashNewbies - questions for newbies
http://www.figleaf.com/Community/listserv.cfm
ExtendFlash - questions related to JSFL, XML2UI, Commands, Behaviours, Timeline Effects and Tools
http://www.flashguru.co.uk/extending-flash-mailing-list/

These lists served there purpose great. I could get nearly any question answered from these three lists except when it came to component development. There was nothing for that and it was really missed.

I wouldn't mind if we do the same thing for Flex and add a component/framework development list to the list where we can ask about list components (eh hehe - couldn't resist):

FlexCoders - questions related to coding in flash - usually you've looked everywhere else first
Flex2Coders - i really want to add a flex 2 list but only if the adobe people would join
FlexNewbies - questions for flex newbies
FlexExtension - questions related to extending the flex ide, flex components or flex framework

Maybe something like that???

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
