its always creating kettles of reactions(in any situation in life - imho). Someone does
something with a good intention and ends up in having a bad situation for others.
To me it RIAFlash looks like one of those approachs that feature to a certain group.
A group that is not yet archived by another group (osflash). Its reasonable to improve
the access to the projects and its reasonable (and held as good fashion) to set a different
focus: But if you have power(like Adobe has) its like a magnet. And this magnet has the
power to move lots of peoples attention to itself (even the people that ARE supposed or
targeted by the other focus - osflash). I exactly described this case where the big player
lacks in overview and seriously harms small parts unwillingly.
Some of Adobe's Actions deffinitly affect the life of open source flash in general as
contra productive and or destructive. Of course not all but why should I be calm if
I recognized things like this happen?

Martin.
btw.: I don't see Adobe as bad. I just see some of the things happening as not well thought.

I do want to take any sides, but I agree with Mike. "Conspiracy theory"
for me doesn't fit, I believe in dialog.
As a user, i would prefer to have only one open-source flash community
recognized and supported by Adobe, but completely managed by the
community itself. I don't think this is that difficult to achieve, it's
just a question of dialog and effort. And to know if it's something that
everybody wants (both the osflash community and Adobe).
... just my opinion...
