greeetings! i agree with chris in most points; one solution for as2/as3 (and even haxe) would be great and could give the osflash-community a new impulse...
a general osflash-foundation might be a solution and i'm definitely willing to invest some bucks/time; but as already stated the money won't do the trick alone: the most important question is whether there are some genius able and willing to continue the work of the asdt-team...? btw: OSFDT sounds great but OSDT would be simpler... *g* cheers! henrik p.s. @chris: my congratulations on your wedding! ;) > Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:53:12 -0400 > From: "Chris Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [osflash] Should we make donations to revive ASDT and > HXDT ? > > Hi, > > I think part of the problem is that there is no official entity to > take in the donations and distribute them appropriately at the moment. > This is certainly something that we should consider.
