Our repos are already mirrored to GitHub.  See:
https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk

Try importing all the projects from frameworks/projects.  For Flex, you
should be able to create a new project and make these projects
dependencies.  For FlexJS, maybe you can create that default existing
project for us.

From the mirrors you can generate a pull request.

For FlexJS, I think you can install FlexJS as a Flex SDK and use it as the
SDK for your project and you should be ok.  Give it a try.  Let us know
what is still missing.

For better or worse, Apache generally has more rules than many GitHub-only
projects.  Those rules slow us down, but in theory are the price to pay to
make corporations feel comfortable using our software, and supposedly,
that’s where the money is for our future.

You are welcome to donate more of your code to Apache Flex and get it into
the default SDK.  If you wrote the code before becoming a committer, you
have to go through the Software Grant process again for significant code
bases.  Small stuff you can probably just commit, although a discussion
before doing so would be recommended.
