I'm Back!
All right; now that I'm back from my hiatus and settled in, I'm ready to go back to doing some serious work. Here's what I'm planning to take care of, in order of importance:
- Getting more work done on the new design.
- Assisting newbies on IRC and the mailing list
- Helping the wiki move along.
- Reviewing the "detailed" design document for the current system.
- Replying to E-mails. My apologies to folks on this one, but crafting an E-mail is a 30 minute to 2 hour job for me, and I can't really work on anything else in that period. Catch me on IRC!
Expect updates on the design soonish. I'll try to generate some png files for important parts of the system for those who can't or don't want to muck with Umbrello.
Note: I have been told by someone who recently downloaded the SWF specification that Macromedia has added a restrictive license to the end of the document. Because of this, newcomers will not be able to get a copy of the spec and still be able to contribute to GPLFlash's development. Since other developers (such as myself) already have access to the specification without the license, this should not pose a major problem in the short term. Please bear with us, and do not seek out or use this specification in conjunction with the GPLFlash project.
