Hey Jesse- Just wanted to let you know I've added HowSFVotes to our featured projects blog: http://google-code-featured.blogspot.com/
It should show up on the front page of the Flash API docs soon. I noticed you're now using AppEngine for hosting -- you may want to add it to the App Engine app gallery as well, if you haven't yet. - pamela On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 4:37 AM, Jesse <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Flexa, > > Thanks.
