Hi,

The Spoon project is looking into doing some work around documentation but in 
general we all are responsible for the documentation.

Tell the list and/or raise a JIRA issue and if you can provide a patch.

Most of the documentation is generated from ASDoc from source code. While the 
asdocs hasn't been donated yet is should be soon and I see no reason why we can 
commit (to the patches branch) changes to comments in code.

I believe these have already been donated take a look at the airframwork 
directory in frameworks/projects.

WindowedApplication.as has been donated and can be found at /src/mx/core in the 
above project

ASdocs is currently useful so until something better comes along I don't think 
it should be thrown away. The compiler can output XML version of the docs which 
may be useful. This is how the FAT swf that Flash Builder uses for 
documentation are created.

If you referring to the templates, navigation etc once the asdoc  directory is 
donated I'm sure we can do some work on that. You might want to take a look at 
the asdoc/templates directory in the open source version of the SDK . It 
generates the HTML from  XSLT templates.

I have no idea if this will be donated, not sure if it's even on the "list".

I think someone involved with Spoon project might be able  answer that in a bit 
more detail as I think they have some ideas about that going forward.

Thanks,
Justin
