I agree. I’m constantly extending flex with new components and improvements to existing components, but it never occurs to me to submit them to the project because it doesn’t seem possible to do so.

As for Fx, CSS3 contains a proposal for handling namespaces – wouldn’t that have been a better solution.

Hi, Dave Story here. Yes, I’ve joined the Platform BU as VP of Developer Tools. That means my teams are responsible for product development and product management of Flex SDK, Flex Builder, Flash Catalyst (“Thermo”) and ColdFusion. For some perspective, today is day 10 in my new role, so I’m catching up on discussions and issues.

I just found and read your blog, and I look forward to spending time helping with the next steps. I and others are listening.

Stay tuned, there are a lot of variables, but everyone at Adobe wants to do the right thing for all our stakeholders.

And thanks for your passion!

Cheers,

Dave Story
