Thanks Alex, I pretty much think the same way as you, and I believe that Parsley should be hosted in our codebase for some time to give the Parsley community the impression of stability for them. Since the release of the Cairngorm 3 spec [1] and the Cairngorm 3 libraries with Parsley support [2], lot's of companies are you using Parsley, and, I doubt that, with the current situation, they feel comfortable with it.
Also adding a new mailing list for all Swiz users, Parsley users and the Cairngorm 3 library users would be great at Apache Flex, but, I seem to fail to bring this to point over to Jens ... please check out my previous argumentation [3]. Is there anyone on this list who is willing to step in and share your point with Jens in the SpiceFactory forum? Thanks !!!
