Hi Hank,

> I dont think there is any need to be so defensive.

I completely agree. I don't think anyone is being defensive here. I  
know that I'm just interested and trying to find out more about  
RIAForge. Which, is normal since I only heard about it for the first  
time when it was announced publicly.

Of course not. However, I would expect to Adobe to be open about the  
fact they have created this web site instead of trying to pass it off  
as a community effort. It appears that there is a lack of  
transparency here that other people have commented on.

LOL! Yes, I can confirm that OSFlash definitely doesn't make a profit  
(or revenue for that matter.) :) I completely agree, however, that  
being "open" is very important. That includes things like project  
acceptance criteria and ownership.

> potentially there lots of good could come of it.

I tend to agree.

All the best,
Aral
