If you're concerned about this initiative... please re-read this line in the story.
"I am using this Kickstarter as a different approach to fund some of my own Apache Flex development time. This will allow developers with limited free time to give a small amount of money to help Apache Flex." - Jeffrey Houser And now my $.02... It is ridiculous to think that Apache Flex will progress / flourish without new, recurring, continuous and significant contribution of people, time, and finances. Emphasis should be made on 'new', 'recurring', 'continuous' and 'significant.' I do not aim to cheapen efforts to date... only to identify that 'success' in software is more of a journey and not a destination. That said, I think that it's great to see someone openly calling everyone at every level to come and support Apache Flex any way they can. My only request to Mr. Houser, is that he setup some kind of account or mechanism so that I can make a recurring contribution to sustain him and his work in Apache Flex. Cheers, Rick Winscot
