Hi Greg, we are not talking about the entire plugin ... just one fragment (assumably not even 5% of the entire suite) that deals with downloading stuff from Adobe. All the other parts of the plugin would be developed in the open :-)

Apache doesn't work that way. I suppose if that's the only choice they give us and Chris is willing to do it on his own he can submit it to us as a patch but there's no guarantee it will be accepted. For myself I'd prefer to manually download the artifacts than to accept an agreement like that. At this point I don't guess I would veto a commit if this is what it comes to but this is a horrible way to develop a plugin that is essential to many Flex users. It should be developed in the open in a way that addresses everybody's needs including Adobe's and the community's. This is a slap in the face to the Apache Way. Sent from my mobile device.
