Hi,

Good news.

Ideally sure but then ideally the bug base would of been imported by now. I'm 
sure I'm not the only person who want to contribute to improve the current Flex 
SDK by submitting patches to the existing SDK. :-)

Given that the initial list of bugs to be imported is now about 3 weeks away 
and that's not the full list (it's only the SDK bugs - please correct me if I 
wrong here) it's going to be something like 4 or 5 weeks until we have JIRA 
containing a complete import of the Adobe bug base. Do we just wait and only 
discuss changes to the SDK before then?

I'd love to see a monkey patch hunt operation, there's lots of wild 
bugs/fixes/patches out there in google land (and elsewhere) could be tamed and 
submitted as patches to the SDK. This would improve the quality, performance 
and robustness of the SDK and give a reason for using it. Not to mention making 
RSLs actually useful (not framework signed one sadly). As they are mostly small 
changes it would be easier to add them into the SDK. eg The patch I submitted a 
couple of weeks back. (see 1 below)

So the question is now do we hold off submitting patches to know bugs (ie those 
documented in Adobe's JIRA) until all of them have been imported or do we go 
ahead and enter patches to bugs that might be duplicates and do a bit of 
cleanup after the real bugs imported. It's a simple matter in JIRA to mark bugs 
as duplicates (assuming you have permission to do so).

What are other peoples view on this?

Thanks,
Justin
