Right, I have a thick head, thus some of my comments.

Mike,
I'm taking none of this personal, I'm Dutch and have a very thick
skin, so don't worry about that :-)
The only thing I'm trying to achieve with my comments is to get you to
contribute something to the project, besides constructive criticism
and excellent ideas. You have to offer so much, why not share a
little? As you correctly assert, no one can complete Falcon on their
own, not even Gordon (well, given enough time... ;-)), so, like a long
journey, maybe start with one small step?
Yes, I understand this unfortunately I am at a turning point here. I
am like any other business man that has to weigh the options of my
next step and decisions.
I have tried to start some dialog in the past couple of weeks about
documentation, the compiler etc. As Roland stated, the only feedback I
got was from him and we have talked about this stuff personally, so he
doesn't count. :)
I already risked my business on Adobe last year, that failed. I had to
pick up the pieces of last November and reinvent myself. Choosing to
commit myself to this project means seeing or in my case feeling
support, I'm not going to start something until I can get a decent
dialog with other developers. I don't care what Apache says about do
it yourself, if conversations cannot even be started on a dev list,
it's hopeless form my view and I'm not going to spend my free time
committing code to a project that I cannot even get decent feedback
from a dev list.
If you think that there needs to be discussion about the direction of
the project and it the goals the community would like to work towards,
please start one. You can use this list, but better would be to use
the Wiki or the website itself, so there is a better record of the
arguments.
I understand this as well but, if I cannot at least get a decent
conversation from the project's dev list, why even bother spending
time on a wiki or a website that these devs probably are not even
viewing?

Erik,
Please man, I mean no disrespect in any of these emails to you it's a
frustration I have been holding onto for about 10 months now.
The github reference was in relation to supporting a small, manageable open
source project in a github account. The point was a lot of those projects
are small and manageable.
The flex project is huge and all interdependent. Yes, Apache says no road
maps but common, active contributors need to have conversations and create
dialog about future implementations. Maybe not when creating higherlevel
things but when we are talking about a compiler, I'm not just stepping into
the wild unkown without a "little" backup here, meaning a couple other
enthusiastic developers at my side. IE I'm not talking about making a
TabNavigator implementation in my whiteboard here.
So to answer, I have no knowledge of how to get GIT running on Apache.

Supporting some github project is definitely where I could "if you don't
like it, change it."
Well, that is a good place to start! Apache Infra has indicated that
they would help the project move to Git if the project 'donated' a few
volunteers to help with the move and to support the new workflow after
that. I'm sure the project would much appreciate it if you could be
one of those volunteers.
Thank you,
EdB
