In any case, I am scampering to finish up the npm flexjs package before the April 4th FlexJS conference. I truly believe this will help folks get off the ground with FlexJS in minutes. I would love to look at your slides at my own time instead of selecting one day and trying to squeeze everything in it.

And then come back to Falcon. I think Alex has already taken time off his list of priorities to fix the FlexJS folder structure to be more Maven like - per your request. We need to work with each other and be more flexible, don't you agree? Thanks, Om > > Chris > > ________________________________________ > Von: Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17.
