Hi, I'm not sure how this will be received but I'll start by saying I'm a "finance/marketing guy" rather than a "designer/developer".
And, I/we're building a patented Virtual Office at www.onlineoffice.com (and/or www.adobeoffice.com which we also own). When we showed Ted Patrick, Mike Downey and others on the Adobe Air Bus, the feedback was that we "nailed the potential in Flex/Air" as well as anything they'd seen. So, we (a graphic designer, a Coldfusion programmer and myself) spent the rest of this summer reading Flex Books and hacking together an infrastructure/architecture (Cairngorm, SVN, MySQL). Now we're at a stage where experience is crucial Adobe staff made personal introductions to all "the leading development companies" but the incredible expertise I've seen in the forums and blogs suggests a better opportunity. Especially because our business model is a platform for commercializing RIA applications (i.e. users activate options in their OnlineOffices and pay the independent app developer a monthly or per use fee when they do) my hope is to essentially open source the project to the Flex/Air community so anyone with worthwhile (or just plain cool) work can both contribute AND be well paid for doing so (remember I'm a sales guy, I'd RATHER sell on your behalf than code). If any of this sounds interesting I'd appreciate any feedback on how best to move forward . . . Regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
