Roadmap!? There are no roadmaps in Apache Flex :-)
We are in prototype stage. I think it is ok to have different goals. For
sure, we all agree we're trying to get from AS/MXML to JS, but IMO, the next
level down can have some wiggle room for now. What is important to you
doesn't have to truly match me. I'm actually glad you want to take on
vector skinning because it will help prove we don't create a skinning model
that is too biased one way or the other.
My personal goals:
1) For the year: get a major Adobe customer to buy into using this
technology. This helps ensure I can continue to work on it full time. I
will shift my priorities in order to grab such a customer. For example
today I am enhancing HTTPService because a potential customer is interested.
2) For next month: get data-binding {} syntax to work
3) For the month after that: finish CSS to JS
4) For next quarter: Try to port something like "old FlexStore"
5) Also for next quarter: Cut an official release (alpha-level)
6) Continously: get more people to try it and get involved.
