Adding to Bertrand's comments, there are some of us on the committer's list that aren't actively committing at the moment, but monitoring things closely and still very committed. The project is in a pretty unique phase, and there are certain people that are a good fit for the current set and volume

Thanks Mike. I saw heaps of discussion around Mustella and regarding the selection of a test framework, but nothing specifically about the (non)existence of unit tests for the framework. I'm more than a little frightened that we don't have test coverage. Without seeing the tests, I'm guessing that

Alex, can you speak to the level of resourcing that FlashPlayer is receiving from Adobe? I feel like that could help alleviate some of this fear of abandonment. (I feel like some, maybe not all, of that fear is just blowback from communication blunders.) sD

Regarding media, it's important to note that most technology decisions are driven (at least in part) by someone who's aware of what's going on in that tech space--even in a small company. That's obvious, I know, but if Apache Flex is a great product, the technology "deciders" will understand that.
