Well actually the issues above is one of the points on that ApacheCon list. It about code quality and Sonar Cube reports. SonarCube flags the above items as critical / major issues. A lot of the things reported by SonarCube are easy to fix and it's a very easy way for people to contribute especially if they are not confident in making changes to the SDK or know the code base well. In some case you wouldn’t even need to know AS or Java well to make the suggested changes. Now same of these changes are needed, some may not be, and some we should ignore but you usually uncover issues or bugs when looking at them - as I did the other day. You may not agree with how it categorised things and perhaps the reports need some filtering / tuning but if so lets discuss that here. Here’s the SonarCube links for those interested - and yes it also scans the framework AS code. https://builds.apache.org/analysis/overview?id=2461 https://builds.apache.org/analysis/overview?id=20942 There’s currently a large number of issues for those above projects including a small number of what it thinks are blocking/critical bugs and security vulnerabilities. It’s also very easy to set up and run locally for people working on their own FlexJS applications. > Getting some production apps out there will bring in more contributors. There are several people on this list working on FlexJS applications myself included. Our application is currently in production (soft launch) and I gave a talk about the development of it at ApacheCon. Thanks, Justin
