Jack, You're not missing something and it is likely a good idea at this point. Open Spoon pre-dated the Apache effort and then worked during the transition period to help keep Flex as alive as possible and provide some connection between Adobe's announcements and Apache being up and running. Spoon was also kept alive as a separate entity which could accept donations directly and apply those to the good of Apache Flex, which we did to fund travel for some members, etc. during the early days of this initiative. After that point various volunteers used the foundation as a way to keep in touch with our corporate sponsors, however, as is the way with open source, the volunteers doing that work have either moved on or have moved here. Given that the Apache project stands well on its own now, and we haven't received an offer for a corporate contribution in a long time, it makes sense to bring the Spoon website to a close and ensure that all communication remains here. The github account was closed down about a week ago and we will get the website down shortly. Cheers, Mike
