My 2 cents:

Even if RIAForge is a competitor of OSFlash (it is surely not from my point
of view) it would be good news. Competition, also in non-profit/open source
sector, is always a good thing.

Image the Flash evolution with a more serious competitor as e.g. Livemotion.
Not to harm the Flash evolution but without competition things get lazy. I
felt the evolution of the Flash Platform has really become faster as the
Sparkle (Flash Killer) news came up. Perhaps there would not already be
Flash Player 9 Linux beta if Vista release would be 2008.
