We are not committing to trunk until all of Adobe's code is contributed to diminish the possibilities of the SVN import failing because of conflicts or any other problems that may arise. We do not have access to importing SVN history, this has to go through Apache Infrastructure, and so we hope to minimize the amount of back and forth that we have to do with Apache Infra by not committing things to trunk that could potentially cause issues. The safest way is to just not commit things there and use the patches branch that we currently have things that have been put into it. > > Tink's layouts have been around forever, been used by quite a bit of the > Flex community and, I feel, fill a need in the SDK but remain in his > whiteboard.

Before any new components are added we want to make a release that is identical to the donation from Adobe and as close to Flex 4.6 as it possibly can be so we can a.) learn the deployment process and b.) graduate from the incubator. -- Omar Gonzalez s9tpep...@apache.org
