Project Status: Flight and Reflex
As a primary contributer on a couple of open source (read part-time) projects my time is sometimes stretched thin. The Flight Framework is a core library focused on providing many common solutions such as improved databinding, undo & redo, an MVC workflow among others. Flight released its “1.0 Release Client” 8 months ago and has yet to finalize a 1.0 release. The framework still rocks but it’s not well tested and documented, and it isn’t getting there in a hurry – a common problem with open source software.
The biggest delay to Flight has been Reflex, my old flame and new obsession. Reflex is a UI component framework, fast and small enough for Flash projects, but with a planned feature set that’s richer than Flex. Reflex will be introduced to the community at the upcoming 360|Flex conference, after which I anticipate being able to split my time between these two open source projects once again.
