Hi,

I want to propose the donation of Swiz Framework to Apache Flex.

https://github.com/swiz/swiz-framework/
https://swizframework.jira.com/wiki/display/SWIZ/Home

The reasons behind the propossal are:

* Swiz Framework is a mature microarquitecure for Apache Flex that
complements it to build applications with MVC, DI and other commodities
needed today to be productive. (There's other frameworks out there that
could be used along Flex like RobotLegs, Parsley, ....)

* Swiz is not updated anymore since people behind it migrated from Flex
platform to HTML5 technologies and does not want to invest more time.

* Swiz stopped development in 2.0.0 beta that brings AOP to Flex Framework.
The problem with this implementation is that is not ready for producction
since it needs changes in Flex Compiler and in AS3 Commons ByteCode to get
it work properly.

Chris Scott, the creator of swiz respond on the list some minutes ago and
he approved the Swiz Framework Donation to Apache Flex.

If people doesn't have any issues with this donation I'll go through the
steps that, will require for actual production version. Taking into account
that * Swiz Framework already has Apache License 2.0, the steps to get
donation done should be only:

* Get Chris Scott email accepting the donation of the swiz source code and
wiki content.
* I'll request a "flex-swiz-framework" git repo where we can migrate the
source code.

In a second round, Chris will want to donate 2.0.0 Beta and we can disscuss
changes to Flex compiler and talk with as3commons to know enhancements to
bytecode project and see if it's viable or not.

Let me know what do you think about it and If I need to take into account
something else.

Thanks.

Carlos Rovira
