Although, I >have some things on my plate already, so maybe more later. If folks help Lizhi clean it up and we get enough votes to bring it here, then I won't stand in the way. Let me point out some reasons not to bring it here for folks to think about: 1) Apache doesn't like "umbrella projects". I don't exactly know why and haven't dug into it, but apparently there were some umbrella projects in the past that ran into trouble and the solution was to split the big project into several projects. Starting up a project is definitely harder than bringing in code to an existing project, so I understand the temptation to keep bringing more things under Apache Flex. 2) Scalability: In one vision of a wildly successful future for FlexJS, we'd ship even fewer SWCs than we do now. The Jquery folks would take over the Jquery SWCs. They'd export the code from our repos to their repos and release them on their own schedule. We would remove the code from our repos. Same for CreateJS, GoogleMaps, etc. IMO, we are only providing these SWCs for now as a proof of concept. I can't imagine the amount of list traffic involved if we had one huge monolithic release of every AS library in the world. I get what you are saying, but this does not usually happen. Angular, Typescript etc shims for popular libraries like Highcharts, D3 etc. are maintained by volunteers who are not affiliated to either the framework or the library. I believe that is healthy situation. That said, I think if the version of Starling that Lizhi is developing is a separate apache project, it would attract the right kind of community. Just my 2 cents. Thanks, Om And I can't imagine the amount of list traffic if we had 200 third-party libraries all on their own release schedule. In short, I would prefer that we build an ecosystem of third-parties rather than have everyone have to go through our community in order to release. Even JIRA doesn't really handle categorization of bugs in a hierarchical fashion. So, I'm not sure what the right answer is, but we'll discuss it more when Lizhi's code becomes more ready. -Alex
