<rant> To me it looks like Adobe doesn't have a real community strategy. From a company like Adobe i would expect to formulate and publish a strategic goal and then to do everything to achieve it. Instead of this, Adobe people are suggesting to use Adobe forums and mailing lists instead of flexcoders, or are creating sites like RIAForge instead of supporting osflash. I think, community is a very fragile thing. You can't just "move" it from one place to another. It builds arround people. So if you want to move community, you have to move (read support) people maybe? </rant>
I like the cheap design of RIAForge though :) Cheers, Ralf.
