Hey Craig (and everyone)-
Let me take a crack at the first question, I'll let Ray chime in about the
community source question.
Regarding the COAPI, I think about it as the abiility to define,
instantiate, modify, delete, and search for objects and types. You could
look in the coapi/objectstore and tier0/objectstore directories and get a
good sense of the ballpark of tags that is formally considered the 'Content
Object API.'
Our plan going forward is to focus on a migratable version- one that
supports the concept but cleans up some bits and pieces (and adds even more
functionality).
We're still evaluating exactly which components of Spetra evolve into the
app server, so I don't think its as simple as saying that the COAPI is it
(though that is our focus).
Does this help?

Where does the COAPI stop and the rest of Spectra begin?
....
What are the boundaries on the Community source model?

Let me outline 2 scenarios:
1. Let's say I go out and find a bug. I report that bug and provide code to
fix it. My understanding is that Macromedia would have a team of QA
engineers
who would test my fix and "certify" it for consumption by the rest of the
community. That's pretty good.
2. Let's say I come up with a great new service/feature that adds to Spectra
or
I significantly re-engineer some Spectra system (such as Webworld Studios
Custom Security Solution (http://www.wwstudios.com/index_wws.cfm/286/ )
(nice job guys)). Will Macromedia QA those?
If yes we might be on to something great -- Spectra can continue to grow.
I assume that Macromedia intends to provide support for modifications such
as
outlined in the first scenario -- but what about the second?
