Re: [osflash] Everyone: This list has changed, no?

I think the list is turning to, bit of a chat room, yet most of the  
replies are being very beneficial, wether in the knowledge or the  
references they're giving.

I am constantly exposed to problem-> solution, thanks to this list. We  
don't all use realtime video encoding, or red 5, etcc everyday, and  
even if we do, we don't go through the same process or scenarios as  
others do, so Being exposed to all those solutions are quite usefull  
for when we find ourselves in that same situation.

Lets keep Whatever grows and feeds The community, instead of rejection  
i'd say redirection. Noobs or not, we all are part of the open source  
community that will contribute one day or another, in the best way we  
could.

Anyway, the list has changed a lot. I had (and still have) an  
incredible respect for the osflash list - it was the only place I  
can remember where we could discuss best practices, design patterns,  
frameworks, etc on the flash platform. Everytime there was an email  
about best practices, there were dozens of constructive replies from  
what I consider some of the best flash gurus out there. But this was  
some years ago. I might say that there was one osflash list before  
Flex 2, and another after... Not better or worse - just different.

OK, is it just me or has this list mostly (or at least partially)
changed focus/purpose from a Flash platform open source discussion  
and
questions list to a general Flash/Flex/Actionscript question and  
answer
list?   Seems there are several on this list who don't understand  
what
this list was set up for.  If everyone's cool with that, I am - but
there are plenty of other lists out there for these kind of  
questions. I
myself am guilty of responding to general flash questions here and
there, but I think if we respond to people, instead of diverting  
them to
a more appropriate list, they will keep coming back for more.  Do we
want to allow this or no?

For those of you on this list who didn't realize this list was  
intended
for open source questions related to the Flash platform (hence the
name), no worries, but I would suggest you subscribe to one of the
following lists instead:

Flash_Tiger on Yahoo
Flexcoders on Yahoo
Flashcoders on chattyfig.figleaf.com
Flashnewbies on chattyfig.figleaf.com
Adobe forums, Flashkit, Actionscript.org, etc.

For the other people here interested in Open source flash topics,  
what
are your thoughts?
