I'm with Stephanie here. I'm actually a nobody in this group, but I feel the discussion here is actually still shining the ray of hope that drives me to stay in Flex and not jump ship like several of my fellow Flex developers. In fact it is the discussion here that has led me to tell my supervisor about the possible reemergence of Flash one day. I would never have known about any of these had it not been for the discussion in this thread.

I suggest that the next steps would be create a github project, start coding the new player and share it with the mailing list. If people like what they see, they will start contributing.
