you guys write so much in an afternoon hehe =)

João, I totally agree with your point of view, and also "hank williams", 
"Claus Wahlers" (sorry if i missed many people there was so much emails 
to keep searching for names =P).

I had never stop to think in such a thing like a wiki in flash, and the 
great thing (already mentioned) is that
with flash we can improve user experience AND at the same time motivate 
and convince future osflashers to join
which is the main propose of this progect...

we are gathering ideas, none said "flashWiki must be done..."  but I 
think that *it is the best idea until now =)*

so using this opportunity to answer other thread

1- Do we *need* to focus on "marketing" work to attract more people and 
grow the community?

        YES, why? (someone even asked... )
It is the basic for all opensource communities, more people to help!
or can anyone here do everything alone?
probably if could wouldn't even need to participate of a community.

2- Do we *want* to focus on "marketing" work to attract more people and 
grow the community?

        YES

3- Would you invest some of your time creating some "marketing" material 
to improve osflash?

        YES, probably as anyone in my free time. 
        and after decide what is gonna be done, let's gather this people and 
divide the tasks.. =)
