Re: [flexcomponents] 3rd Party Component Explorer

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

Ted, everyone     I had some problems posting to exchange in the past for the following reason - it is geared toward components that, while important, are a fraction ( major, but not really crucial for commercial decision makers) of 3rd party marketplace. In some cases it prevented me from posts. Examples of the components we build that have obvious problems:   1. Code generators - back end and some "helper" components on the client side - specialized collections hardly make good UI sample 2. Heavy Components - SuperGrid, PropertyBag,, etc  - can be demoed, but require dedicated pages with help, demos, white papers, etc. 3. Tools - Ant build automation, Debugging/tracing pannels - are not components, but rather something we (and I am afraid most of Java folks) can not build code without. 4. Vertical solutions based on the combination of the parts/framework/crossmarketing of the components   We are moving some of the components to the SourceForge as they have established solution for the above issues.   I understand that there should be structure, I believe we can benefit if we build in some "unstructured" blog/community part in it to resolve the forementioned   Sincerely, Anatole Tartakovsky     ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Patrick To: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 12:02 PM Subject: [flexcomponents] 3rd Party Component Explorer After you get your component added to the Flex Exchange at http://www.adobe.com/exchange/ ...   I have been thinking about putting together a 3rd Party Component Explorer and XML document containing all 3rd party components for Flex. The application would contain working examples and allow developers looking for component to try them out.   I am looking at the workflow for this so that it is easy to maintain and automated:   Post a Form on Flex.org Author/Company Contact Information (URL/Email) URL to crossdomain.xml URL to SWF Example URL to MXML Example Source Approval Process Posted   This would all be wrapped into an app identical to the current component explorer.   Thoughts?   Ted Patrick Flex Evangelist Adobe Systems Incorporated       __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Custom software development Database development software Embedded software development Offshore software development Software development YAHOO!
