If you're creating a huge giant UI in Flash, it'll take a lot of extra work to duplicate an entire second version in cross-platform high-functioning web standards, and maintain both versions. If you've only programmed a Flash version, then when Flash isn't available, you've got nothing. That's not very nice for something we'd want to ship. :) Hence, we're most interested in Flash for small pieces which degrade gracefully, not an entire page editing widget. But as I said, third parties are more than welcome to use whatever they like for their own development. If the result is interesting, we'd be happy to learn lessons on UI and workflow from it, but we'd never use it directly. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
