Hi Mike,
Please don't let too much get lost in translation! I think everyone is
working towards the same goal here: we want to be able to have a tool that
allows us to "write once, play everywhere." No-one can (re)build such a
tool on their own, so we need to work together, each on the part of the
puzzle that we feel passionate about.
What the others were wondering is if you were going to go "all Android and
nothing but Android", which you answered: "yes, but I want to build it like
swiss army knife, able to deliver to any platform. Only, I'm personally
going to focus on the Android tool on that knife, because that's 'my
thing'," correct?
Exactly, you should have said it for me. :)
You seem to be one of the few people that actually understand all this
stuff, so I'm sure if you build the Android side of things - with the
'swiss army knife' in the back of your mind, of course - we can learn from
that and build towards other platforms from that example.
This is what I'm hoping.

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.

...My key points here is: whatever you want to do is up to you, but to
be part
of Apache Flex should be aligned with the main focus and goal of the
project. If you use the Falcon compiler to make something useful but
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.
