Hi Alex,

Would it be possible to start making more extensive use of JIRA on FlexJS?

There appears to be a very basic list of issues outstanding for FlexJS 1.0
Release Candidate.  I'm sure there is a lot more on a roadmap somewhere...
and it would be nice to have it articulated in JIRA.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX/fixforversion/12324435/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:version-issues-panel


I reviewed your PowerPoint presentation draft for the FlexJS meeting on
Monday.

Slides 30 through and 36 detail "how much can you reuse" and has
information on scanning for "imports flash.*" and "embed".

I think we should write an analyzer to help estimate code conversion for
existing Flash / Flex Builder projects and add that to Moonshine IDE.  We
could then present an estimate of the amount of code that will "just work"
on a FlexJS build from the project.


If you can correlate the skill set necessary to tackle each of the major
issues, I think FlexJS is at a point where we could start to recruit
individuals or companies to assist with the remaining issues to reach 1.0
level so their Flex apps will be ported to JavaScript/HTML.

Surely there are enough corporations out there with an investment in Flex
application modernization needs that financially it would make sense to
sponsor a portion of the remaining development work on FlexJS 1.0 so that
their application port to no longer be dependent upon the Flash player will
be accelerated.



Thank you,

Justin Hill
