Re: [flexcoders] Re: Posting patched versions of framework code to this list?

Renaun,
 
I don't think Louis changes can be placed in extension layer as they would involve access to private methods and variables. I think his question is if Adobe foresee making Flex framework open source project administered by Adobe  and is looking for repository/approval process.
I also believe ( from reading the license in the past - can be wrong - did not talk to lawyers)  that working in mx. packages is not allowed - so in the past any changes of that sort required us to recreate significant part of Flex stack.
 
Addressing this issue via open source project would greatly simplify life of the people doing routine changes to framework and needing those changes to be present.
 
The only other alternative I can see is to replicating Flex objects in open source project and making sure they are synchronized with the releases of Flex. However, it might lead to significant market fragmentation as well as break of existing libraries that are working within mx packages like Mercury.
 
I would really like to hear Adobe position on Louis offer.
 
Thank you,
Anatole Tartakovsky
