Carlos,
I totally get where you are coming from with the implied strength of
this framework being is "standards approach to development".
Let me rephrase;
My idea is that the MXML compiler is a VERY powerful user interface
abstraction tool. I think Gordon said it well, that MXML is a very
capable declarative user interface abstraction.
This is what I am talking about leveraging. Whether MXML gets rendered
to Android, JS, HTML5 what ever, my point is, I can use Android as a
starting point because this is where my money is coming from.
You know I have heard OOP preached forever that the model needs to be
separated from the view. This is where the MXML compiler could be
reinvented.
"one-man-effort"
Well I get what your saying but, efforts come into existence to solve
problems.
I'm not talking about making Android applications in AS3 either. I'm
talking about the "view" layer.
Anyway, this idea is not even thought out yet.

Hi, I understand your points, and seems very logical. I only want to
express this thoughts I was having and my fear that this project would end
having many new disconnected things that finaly ends with it in the future,
and see others opinion. Taking things like "one-man-effort" seems to be the
natural way, since only traction of that one effort could make people to
join that particular cause.

BTW;
I am having a REAL HARD time understanding why Android is different from
the Flash Player, AIR etc.
The only thing I am starting to get here is this project is still married
to Adobe in a big way.
It's a shame, I bring up an idea about bridging the Flex compiler to some
other open-source project and I get the "your not inline with the projects
goals".
What to keep giving Adobe and their Flash Player all the support and hype,
hey they have Stage3D now folks we must create a whole new framework that
runs on it!?
Is there any other Apache project that is so dependent on a proprietary
technology like Flex is with the Flash Player?

Hey,
Don't get me wrong here people, I always sound like an instigator because
I love life to much to be tied down to a thought.
Yes I read Carlos's thoughts on splitting the project and not being
"inline" with the project's "multi-deployment" goals. This is where
translation gets lost in email and culture I guess.
Please re-read what I wrote about the Swiss Army knife analogy.
All, I am not a corporation nor an huge entity that could create this
mammoth run everywhere dream you hope of. I AM a developer that is very
into Android and see a bridge with this project. A use-case.
So who is to say If I could with others help get this to work, that it
couldn't then be applied to other platforms?
My strong emphasis on Android is to say, hey focus on the one
first(something that you are good at), get it right, perfect it and then
move to the many. That is all I am saying, how we get there is another
story.
Bertrand, your right with that comment about splitting communities. I
guess this is why I haven't brought this up because I disagree with the
main mission of the run everywhere majic this project is trying to hold, I
think it's holding ti back.
The truth is, If I got ostracized because of this idea I would just quit
and do all Android/Music like my original plan was, why even help something
I don't use.

of Apache Flex should be aligned with the main focus and goal of the

different, I think it could be a brand new project, that could have
sense
in its own....
Splitting projects usually splits communities as well - IMO some
android-specific stuff could very well live in an "android" subfolder
here.
