That's a very good question. I'd think that Flex will inevitably grow so
much that very specialized pockets of contributors will arise. Groups of
people that share a set of common interests for the evolution of Flex. In
this regard Spoon has, indeed, a life of its own, but I'd still worry about
the possibility of important discussions being held outside of the main
Flex project.
Hmmm... Not sure, actually, if I have a definite opinion on that, but it's
definitely worth starting a discussion. Spoon can, in theory, maintain the
same sort of relation with the Apache Flex project as it was establishing
with Adobe, but I'm not sure if it makes a lot of sense, now that the SDK
is going to be fully open-sourced. Maybe Spoon will exist as an independent
"entity" for now to feed Apache Flex with the things it started to do for
Adobe and then be absorbed by the main project? I don't know.
On a funny sidenote, Spoon should, maybe, change its name to Fork, as now
there'll be nothing preventing an actual fork/branch of Flex's source
code... :)
Cheers,
Rui
