Drop actionscriptcoders and rename enterprise to RPC (or FlexRemoting or something), and I'm in. 95% of funky flex question are actionscript questions - unless it's an "advanced actionscript" list for things like VM internals stuff, in which case case perhaps it just needs a name change.
Everybody likes to think what they're doing is "enterprise". What we're doing definitely counts (Oracle *loves* us), but we're all SOAP - we don't use LCDS at all, so if people think enterprise is mainly for LCDS stuff we're going to get confusion. Didn't know about ApolloCoders, I think I'll go subscribe :) Definitely like the idea of an announce list, it could be moderated or you could subscribe to it as a daily / weekly digest. -Josh On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 2:10 PM, Bjorn Schultheiss < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Existing > - FlexCoders > - FlexComponents > - ApolloCoders > - FlexJobs > > New > - EnterpriseFlex > - FlexUIDesign > - FlexAnnouncements > - ActionscriptCoders > > ? > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, "Bjorn > Schultheiss" > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > 1. 101 > > Is creating a new group for this necessary or is flexcoders already > > handling this? > > > > > > 2.
