Bleh, I hate forums; info should come to me, I
shouldn't have to go to it.

That said, I wonder if we shouldn't monitor the new
Macromedia Labs forums for awhile before making any decisions on whether to
create new lists.
I'm more interested in what, and the rest of the
list thinks. There are thousands+ on this list now, and splitting/adding
new ones is a huge undertaking, not to be taken lightly, nor without appropriate
management in place. I do, however, think it's necessarey given the
paradigm changes in the community taking place. It is better to act now
than later.

Might try contacting the owners of this list... to see if they agree...
you'd need a policy on this list to direct the appropriate questions to a new
list.

setup works well in Flash; Flashcoders handles component &
ActionScript coding issues where as Flashnewbie handles anything not
advanced. There are a bunch of smart people on Flashnewbie, and
everyone pitches in to help.
What Flexcoders, though, really needs is a
clear division between tasks, not just skillset. For exmaple,
Flex Enterprise Services are what most of the Enterprise customers on this
list will care about, whereas those Flashers who finally see the f'ing
light, will just be asking MXML &
component questions. Flashcom for example was setup so Flash
Communication Server questions weren't asked on Flashcoders, or
Flashnewbie. This works well as each has a nice community going
on.
If it were up to me, I'd say: Flexcoders = stays as
is Flexserver = deals with enterprise services
Most of the Flash
devs incoming will get up to speed pretty quickly, and there are already
plenty of experienced Flex devs on Flashcoders.
Besides, we're at
version 1.5, not 8 like the Flash community is. The influx of
n00bs to this list is what makes it fun in my opinion.

Hehehe *raises hand as Flex Newbie*
But I have been using Flash and Actionscript for 5+ years and
have been coding CF since it's first Beta release. Plus I have a
Degree in Business Computer Programing where I was fully educated in
OOP with C++.
I understand what you are saying, and there is a
valid logic to it. There is a flaw to it as well. Its kinda like
those party lines you call to "meet a hot babe" and all that you find is a
bunch of guys. If you put all the n00bs like me in one room, and the
experts in another, it will just be people who don't have any answers
asking questions of people who don't have any answers. rofl
Don't
take any of my most recent posts wrong, I agree that Flex is
great. We have an entire project, grant, and I have an offer
for me to go to full time state emp specificaly because of
Flex2. Its just frusterating as it seems most of the syntax etc
I learned with Flex 1.5 is just causing errors now.
I would have
grave doubts that creating an all n00b area would benifit the n00bs, though
I am sure it would benifit the pros :) Just my 2000 cents
:D
