I put together a presentation years ago on FlexUnit for contributors that explained the architecture. I will find it and get that posted somewhere.
Additionally, if anyone is interested, I would be happy to do a session sometime on the internals of it as well as talk about what was in the future plan. We could do a connect or similar session. I am happy to share this knowledge with anyone who has the time to help. The core is solid and well tested, but there were a number of enhancements we never got to and it would be great to see that emerge from here someday. Mike
