It is good to point this out. There are other targets that can be compiled into other than flash. Such as Air and it's captive runtimes for desktop and mobile.
My understanding is Adobe has a vested interesting alternatives to the Flash Player as targets. They are not getting rid of ActionScript or Air, so it's mostly going to receive support for all things AS related. There will still be quite a few PMC members on the Flex SDK side. Some will be on both SDK and JS sides. -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Krueger [mailto:okrue...@apache.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 7:14 AM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS} Fork FlexJS from Apache Flex I've already replied via nabble a few hours ago but it seems that it is not synced with the list for whatever reason... so sorry for annoying you: Hi Alex, thanks for this summary, I think this is the right way to go! +1 But for me, it sounds a little bit, that Apache Flex is labeled as discontinued. We should take care to not scare off or unsettle Apache Flex users. Even if FlashPlayer is dead, Flex with AIR is still an awesome platform! Maybe the usage of AIR could save some Flex apps a for while or give users some more time to migrate to FlexJS. > Most FlexJS PMC members are planning to remain on the Apache Flex PMC I think it would be good to also list the Apache Flex PMC members >I will be stepping down as Apache Flex chair Probably I've overlooked something but who will be the chair of Apache Flex? >It isn't clear how much longer Adobe will pay Peter and I to work on Flex and/or FlexJS. I would like to use the opportunity to mention that my company is only willing to invest time in FlexJS if Adobe will continue its support. So I hope that there will be a commitment by Adobe. The fork would be a good opportunity for Adobe to express oneself. Thanks, Olaf
