Hi,
I am not too fussed about slightly OT questions - as I will ask
questions related to open-source things relating to Flash as well as
things about whether there are OS components, etc...
As you probably know I straddle a couple of lists, but I think
comments about the community aspect are fairly pertinent. I think
we all have our "camps" where we like to talk to people and after a
while being on a list, we know that we can ask some questions
vaguely related because we know a bit about the other people on the
list... I will check through all the new threads and often find
some useful snippet that comes in handy in future, so I like the
security blanket of the list.
Sometimes someone blunders in all guns blazing and we either
politely direct them elsewhere, help them out, shout at our monitors
in horror at the blatant abuse of etiquette or just feel content in
the knowledge that we are no longer young grasshoppers. I think the
list still works reasonably well, but we do have to put up with
human behaviour and general craziness once in a while. I don't
think that there is too much rubbish traffic on the list although
the amount of traffic seems to be waning a bit - maybe we need a
knew framework / project / engine to get people excited about
stuff. Whilst I am still upto my neck in design patterns, I don't
feel I have much to contribute codewise, but I don't mind chipping
in with help and advice for people on either list - it's the only
place I have peers and betters in my field at the moment.
Later.

OK, is it just me or has this list mostly (or at least partially)
changed focus/purpose from a Flash platform open source discussion
and
questions list to a general Flash/Flex/Actionscript question and
answer
list? Seems there are several on this list who don't understand
what
this list was set up for. If everyone's cool with that, I am - but
there are plenty of other lists out there for these kind of
questions. I
myself am guilty of responding to general flash questions here and
there, but I think if we respond to people, instead of diverting
them to
a more appropriate list, they will keep coming back for more. Do we
want to allow this or no?
For those of you on this list who didn't realize this list was
intended
for open source questions related to the Flash platform (hence the
name), no worries, but I would suggest you subscribe to one of the
following lists instead:
Flash_Tiger on Yahoo
Flexcoders on Yahoo
Flashcoders on chattyfig.figleaf.com
Flashnewbies on chattyfig.figleaf.com
Adobe forums, Flashkit, Actionscript.org, etc.
For the other people here interested in Open source flash topics,
what
are your thoughts?
