It has been made extremely clear, both on this list, and at all of the recent Flex based events that I've attend in the UK and elsewhere, that the community would prefer Adobe to commit Falcon and FalconJS and develop them with the community in an open sourced manner (I have also been present when this has been put directly to Thibault) the answer always being that we will get it when Adobe are done, estimated Q4 2012. Never have I heard anything different, so I would agree that the community so far has no control although the community has asked multiple times.
I don't have sympathy for Adobe communications as a company, its bloody annoying! Tink Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: >I have to disagree about the no control part.
