Hey all,

The Flex team has a group called the Architecture Review Board that meets
regularly to address issues that seem to be coming up. It's the kind of
group that often gets to deal with the "hallway conversation" issues. I've
taken a number of the issues that we've resolved over the last few months
and put the notes from those decisions on the Gumbo page
(http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Gumbo) down at the bottom.

A few notes, the ones that are already closed should be marked as such.
There are 2 at the bottom that are getting resolved now, so I've opened the
comments section if you're interested. Finally the Halo/MXML prefix issue
is potentially going to be re-opened dependingon the outcome of the Fx
prefix discussion (which I'll be posting more about later today).

We will briefly discuss the ARB issues in our standard iteration meeting,
and will be better about having notes posted as the decision is coming up as
we move forward.

Matt

Hi mate,

I was really referring to all the docs, the ARB ones less so though in truth.

It’s a minor issue though, I suppose I really just wish they printed a little nicer.

While I’m on the subject one thing I do wish the page displayed is a ‘last modified’ date next to the title of each document.

I’m never really sure when/if things have been changed or updated other than by opening each .

Again it’s a minor point.

The ARB Doc’s were a very interesting read (I think that means I need to get out more!)

Er, I wasn’t really going to spend time creating PDFs of this stuff. What benefit would that have? We don’t have them in a non-wiki form or anything, what you see is what we have (I just have them on a different wiki internally and copied them out).

Hi Mat,

Thanks for taking the time to make these Docs available.

I hope that at some point there'll be PDFs as well as HTML of all the

documents (i understand the problems with docs still in flux)

Either way, just wanted to say that it's appreciated.

Cheers
