Well you could also code in notepad or emacs. This isn't the point. There are much better editors that help make my coding experience less tedious out there. The JDT plugin and FDT make my job a whole lot easier and less time consuming. If you don't want an IDE with these features, just ignore the thread. Most of us, or at least a large amount, are interested in this however. The great thing about Open Source software is that if there is a need and a want for these types of things, then we can make them ourselves. Red5, ActionStep, FC64, Fuse, etc.. are all good examples of this. We just need some time, money and motivation to do the project. I agree with Keith Peters on this one, that we should try to find the people to do it first before we worry about the donations. > > I also don't agree with the potential bureaucracy that an OSFlash non > profit etc might bring.

And as Martin pointed out, he already had a PayPal account setup for ASDT. -Chris _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
