The problem may also be that the people who are using the Flex may not be subscribed to the mailing lists. We found there were people coming out of the woodwork when flash was going away, but that only happened because of the cliff that was looming for people targeting flash player. To include the discussion of who might have changed to Air.
Are there are libraries / frameworks that rely on Flex as a base? Side note: we do not use Flex anymore we migrated all of our Flex applications to our custom library on Royale. -Mark K -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Krüger <okrue...@apache.org> Sent: Thursday, June 9, 2022 02:19 To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: [URL Verdict: Neutral][Non-DoD Source] Re: Retiring the project Hi, > That document is for podlings — not for TLPs. Thanks for the hint, maybe this is the right resource, not sure: https://attic.apache.org/ I found this from the Apache PMC overview, see [1]: "In summary, the only reason for a project to move to the Attic is lack of oversight due to an insufficient number of active PMC members. Note that going to the Attic is not necessarily a bad thing: it's merely a reflection that there isn't currently an active community to manage the project. It's also a clear way to set the right expectations for users of the project's code." However, it looks like the project is still more relevant than it seems and as Harbs said, if we are still enough PMCs, we could leave everything as it is. So, can we really guarantee to have at least 3 active PMC members? Please reply if you're still commited to be an active Flex PMC member! I didn't write any Flex/AS3 code for more than 2 or 3 years so please do not rely on me for another couple of years ;-) As long as we're still enough PMCs I think everything is fine. We should add a note to the board report that the project is silent but enough PMCs take care of if.
